  1. half inch mdf? are you mad?

    edit: plus that port position you did in sketchup, is 3 common port walls. plus the height of the port in relation to the box height is wrong for the thickness of wood you're using.

    I am indeed mad, it's going to be braced to hell and back. I realize my port wall mistake, but height is wrong, wat? 1/2 " x 2 = 1 inch 17 - 1 = 16.. lol.
  2. Let me go measure the trunk opening, about 99% sure I can with no issues.

    It's easy to think you can until you have a BIGGG heavy box and you're trying to wrestle it into the trunk. I say build it, and let's see.

    I measured, I was wrong and you were right! lol. I've changed my box size.. i'm taking the sad road and doing it 7 cf at 32hz instead of 8 cf. But this time I know I can fit it in for sure.
  3. needs more port, again. look at port area and port area range. i never can figure out how people overlook one of the most important things in the calc.

    did you just make up the woofer and bracing displacements? just wondering

    I took the .17 right off of RE's website and multiplied it by 2. I took the measurements and need to do a little revamp on it.. Is 17" height safe with 15" woofers?
  4. your port height cant be the same height as your box.

    if you're using .75 wood, then the port can only be 16.5" tall.

    also, you didn't put a number in for # of common port walls (number will be 0,1,2, or 3, depending on where the port is. i suggest a center port, which would be a 2), or for woofer displacement, or bracing displacement.

    also the box has to be WAY bigger. you have 5.72cuft in that picture. you need 8

    As soon as I put in a port number, It says tuning is 0 hz
  5. I'm trying to work my way around the Torres calc.. still not sure. Is there an easy way to start out on these? Also, RE SEx 15's. Not sure on amp.

    one of the most important things is to always look at the Port Area and Port Area Range figures near the bottom right. the P.A. number obviously has to fit somewhere inbetween the two P.A.R. numbers.

    find the Help file within the Torres program itself, to figure out what the "# of common port walls" is.

    bracing shouldn't be much. if you use some 3/4" dowel rods, for example, it shouldn't be more than like .05cuft taken up for bracing.

    Kranny I updated the post with my sheet.. I'm still not sure this is correct.

    EDIT: Read a little tutorial.. seems like this is perfect. My last question, is is this counting the box as an L ported box.
