Winn Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 sorry for thread jacking but i'm trying to figure out how to use this properly, on the port dimensions what's the length of the port? is it the depth of the port if so, how can the port be deeper than the box itself? I probably have something wrong here but that's why i'm asking. It bends like an L.. remember it the length from the point of the L to the back of the box always has to be equal the width of the port ohh ok, see i was thinking this was a common slot port not an L-port if that's what it's called? so if it were a regular slot port the length can't be more than the depth of the box right? as you can tell i'm a n00b at this, but i'm trying to learn Oh i thought it was called a slot port cuz it looks like a slot LOL, We were both confused Quote You know how you avoid that?

Autruche Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I believe you would put in 4 for common port walls, as it would use a side, the back, the top, and the bottom walls as port walls. I'm not too sure though, as I don't use the Torres calculator myself. Tried 4 and it called me a silly goose Hmm... That it does... I guess it would be 3 then, lol. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

I hope i'm right, if i'm not than i'm looking too crazy right now.

727Designs Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 If it's shaped like a slot, it's a slot regardless of if it L's or not. Some people just call them L port boxes.

Some people just call them L port boxes. and when do people use the L in a port? to change the tuning of their box if it isn't deep enough?

Yes, if the length of the port to get your desired tuning is longer than what you can fit, you would need to bend it into an L shape to fit the length you need. Quote Bassless once again.

On most ported boxes to get correct port length with enough port area it can require L'ing the port. Basically just adding length to get desired tuning.

I'm not too sure though, as I don't use the Torres calculator myself. 4 common walls would be a box with a side missing. Well, if your port has to bend and go along the back wall, then it would actually be using 4 common walls, but I see the Torres calculator doesn't see it like that. I just use WinISD to get the port length I need and do all of the numbers myself. I find it to be less of a headache, as odd as that sounds. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?
