to much port area?

Recommended Posts

ok well how would you tune it low. like 30 to 32 range. say u can replace the entire port wall

Going to have to reduce the port area and lengthen the ports.

Why do you want so much volume for a pair of 15's?

I would look at no more than 10 cuft net with ~140 sqin of port tuned to 32 Hz.

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

i wanna hit hard and low. move alot of air. i figured the 1 15 in a 6.5 cube box did it pretty good double the driver and power then double the box volume

You could do...

4" tall x 33.5" Wide x 28" deep and be 30.18hz 10.2 cubes. 130port area,13.4 port per foot.

would that long of a port make it loose some output? i have built alot of boxes but this is the only one that has been kicking my ass lol. thank you for helpin me out here guys

You could do 20 wide x 7 high for a port.

Leave you with a little over 10 cuft (depending on what the bracing is actually taking up) tuned to 32 Hz.

wodl work great for that pair of 15's.

No - your need the length to lower the tuning.

i guess i thought the more port area the more output + the fact i calculated the port wrong. looks like surgery tomorrow. thanks guys

Can someone tell me how the calculator got the port volume? It says .30 cuft. An 8x8 port 3" long (2.25 internal which I see it knows) would be 9.5 x 8.75 x 2.25 = .108 cuft.

It throws off the net volume a little. Not a lot in this case, but like I said above I have seen several times where it gets off pretty good on L ports.

depends on port walls. THe middle one is 1 port wall, the others are 2 port walls, and you can only choose 0,1,2, or 3.

From what Ive experienced myself, More port area = smaller range you can play(say your tuned to 35hz the more port area you have the smaller the range you can play above and below that), Less port area the larger the range you can play.

Bbut in his original input, he only had one port with one common wall.

Even with no common wall, the port would have been 9.5 x 9.5 x 2.25 = .12 cuft, not .30 cuft

Something is off there. Torres may want to investigate. It is not off by far, but like I said sometimes it is worse with L ports.
