I find the triticum caluclator doesnt factor in xmax and motor force and things like this as well and i believe those are important in determining the required port area Now you said use the 35 to 38 sq inches of port for the 2500rms input vs the 28 to 30 with the 1500. So my question is this: if i use 38 sq inches of port but , at the moment, can only feed 1500rms, what will the audible result be as i have way more port area than i need? Will i have less impact, less spl, etc? Thank u for all your help. I will aim to use actual program simulators like bbp instead of this calculator.

Thank you for the reply I am getting way higher numbers for port area than you using 2.2 as the net space and 1800 and also i tried 2300 and for example 2300rms at 2.2 for minimun i get 44 inches and optimal is 59. Tuning is at 33hz I even tried 1500 and i get 35 for minimum and 48 for optimal. You dont even wanna know what i get for 2500rms LOL How are you getting such low numbers? Im assuming u are using a different program?

Hi its a 2000rms wolfram hg 12 and its a single sub in a ported box

I am attempting to build an enclosure and came across triticums port area calculator and i have a question. I am running stock alt so my electrical isnt the greatest. I am using a jp23 2300 rms at 14.4 2000 at 12v (or so they say, i believe its been dynoed with strong electrical to show it does more than rated but at like 14.6v or something.) Since im running stock alt with 2 agms and big 3 i was told the most i will see off my 110amp alt is around 1300 to 1500rms at best running at 1 ohm after rise and everything. So the question is this: For the power input in the calculator, do i enter 2300 or do i enter 1500 which is more of a realistic power number for my situation. There is quite a big difference in port area needed between the 2 power levels. If the answer is use the rated power by the manu, in this case 2300, please explain why i would use that instead of a more accurate power reading. Thank you

Since my box is tuned to 36hz i am comfortable with the 30hz chip. Anything less is asking for trouble IMO For past lower tuned enclosures, i did buy 25hz which i lost , 20hz and 35hz. 25hz i need to remake as i use that and 30hz the most. 20 i only use ifnim tuned 26hz or lower which will never happen.

Thank you and thats exactly what i was thinking , for exrra protection, use ssf on amp as well but one person told me not to double up the filters. Amps ssf should be set around 27hz, epi is using a 30hz chip but setting the amps ssf to 20hz sounds so much better so i guess ill leave it there

I have a question regarding audiocontrol epicenter They device uses pfm chips which it comes with stock 33hz. This chip is basically a subsonic filter which will attenuate the frequency so the epicenter doesnt affect frequencies under the chips frequency. So the question is: is it safe to turn my mono amps ssf all the way to left/lowest setting as the epicenter is already using a ssf? Or should i still have the mono amps ssf filter set to the appropriate setting based upon the tuning of my enclosure?
