homiewes Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 also what you just said.. generic rule of thumb is having between 13-17 sq inch of port per cube... i dont understand this.. because if the box is 5 cubic feet, that means you should use lets say we go with 16 sq inch per cubic foot. that would be 80 square inches of port.. well 80 square inches isnt very big at all??? why would you put a 18 in 5 cubes before displacement? it was just an example.. i think with our max dimensions it will be aboout 7-7.5 cubes..

Namosh Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 If you just want a slot port like your pic, you can use the RE calculator. It's about as easy as it gets. Quote My Ram Quad Cab Blow-through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 ^^^ LOL! whats funny? Your comment about Torres not being accurate. And 8Osqin of port is a nice amount for 5cubes net...

Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 and what issue are you having with tuning? if you are talking about peak frequency on termlab, thats vehicle peak, not the boxes tuning frequency...

homiewes Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 i never said torres wasnt good, i just remember reading other peoples posts about bulding boxes, and the box "experts" were saying there is more to tuning then just filling in the numbers.. torres calc isnt made for port tuning?

homiewes Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Ive messed around torres calc before.. i just always remember people saying they did something else for ports.. i mean each subwoofer has its own values with different paremeters.. im pretty sure theres more then just typing in the dimensions on a box calculator.

tonedeaf Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) Ive messed around torres calc before.. i just always remember people saying they did something else for ports.. i mean each subwoofer has its own values with different paremeters.. im pretty sure theres more then just typing in the dimensions on a box calculator. No. It's that easy. Knowing how much port they will like is te difference. Torres will tune the port the way you tell it to. Knowing WHAT to do and how much port to give the sub is the difference. The Torres calc is only as smart as the user using it. Edited August 27, 2011 by tonedeaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
