OrionStang Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Came up with these numbers for a pair of Havoc 12's. The physical port length is throwing me off. If physical port length is 23", then it shouldn't have to bend, but the "port bends" box says YES. It is a center port design.

memphisBred Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Depth of box is 28 Depth of port is 30 The port would have to bend. Typo? I'm on on mobile and the calc is small so I may have misread. Quote SMD Super Seller/Buyer Audison----Hertz----Rainbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I think Torres calc is confused. The port ends 2.75" from the back wall, and shouldn't need a bend after end correction. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 You are going to choke your port if it ends that close. You should always try to keep your port the width of the port away from the back wall Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

OrionStang Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 1.5" baffle + 23" physical port length + 2.75" (distance from centerline of port to port edge) + 1.375" width of turn + .75" (width of port wall) = 29 3/8" Will end correction make up for the lost 5/8"? Does it even matter? I think I figured it out, just had to talk it out. LOL Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memphisBred Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 And to piggy back off n8, the more room you have between the end of the port and back wall the better. Both for spl and quality of sound, in my experience. Quote SMD Super Seller/Buyer Audison----Hertz----Rainbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were saying it doesn't bend.

OrionStang Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 See Nate, thats the dilemma. If I bend it at 5.5", it goes against that theory. Technically, it does bend, but for only 3/4". The width of the port wood. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
