Air Velocity on WinISD Pro

Recommended Posts

What is the maximum air velocity for a vented enclosure that wouldn't cause port noise? I have a 6" by 2.25" slot port so a 2.67:1 port ratio. Would that cause port noise with a Fi Q 10 on 1500w RMS?

I've heard a lot of different responses & opinions on air velocity, I just took a bunch of opinions, added up all the different air velocities & divided them by the number of opinions I read.. Jk lol, but for real, for the most part I've seen to keep it under 30 m/s.. If you go to input wattage I think it's called on Winisd, and put in 1500, then go to vents and put in the port information, then go to transfer function magnitude (at the top of the graph) and click that little dialogue box and go down to rear port air velocity and it should give you an idea.. Hopefully some more guys will chime in on the air velocity, I just made a new vented enclosure today, with 16.25 sq in of port per ft and it's under 30 m/s, haven't listened to it yet because the glue etc is curing, but If I don't have any port noise then I guess under 30 m/s works.

Port per cube needs to die.

Port area can be determined by using Richard Small's formula.

you can use these formula's:

Or this calculator for quick references.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

I'm not looking for port area. I know how much port area I need. I just want to know the velocity that it needs to stay under.

30 m/sec is my hard limit, though if I can get closer to 20 m/sec that's always nice though rarely happens.

I can't seem to get my enclosure port velocity below 30 m/s. I'll most likely be getting (90% sure of it) that I'll order a Fi BL 10" subwoofer. Do you think you can help me Triticum?
