Any length difference when using 2 ports instead of 1?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am currently making my ports for my box, and I have no choice but to make 2 separate ports. The specs call for 110 square inches of port 22.5" long. Now if i make 2 55 square inch ports will they still be 22.5" long? I thought it wouldnt matter because they added up to the same area but someone said i would need to recalculate the lengths. Can anyone shed some light on this for me.

Ok they are saying if i use 2 ports instead of one port the length of the ports will be 2 times as long as a single port? Thats hard for me to believe but is this the case?

That would be like 2 45" long ports wtf?

Depends -

If you are talking about a 60 sqin port vs. 2 30 sqin ports, no they are not double the length.

If you are talking about a 60 sqin port vs. 2 60 sqin ports, yes they are double the length.

You really have to just calculate length based on 1 or two ports if there is some different ratio between the sizes.

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.

Thanks man, Thats what i was hoping to hear. Its just one 110 sq inch split in half to two 55 square inch ports because i got the convertible top motor in the middle of my trunk shelf.
