Kolbyab1294 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I planned on bracing top to bottom left to right I did the calculator on my cousins computer and all seemed right I don't quite understand an no one gave me an answer If you have the air spac correct and your frequency is right isn't that what matters?

Kolbyab1294 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Ok this was my plans 2" face 3/4 every wear else Two 2" braces top to bottom Two 2" braces side to side Two 2" braces front to back I need one in the port ? My original plan I had the box 22.5 deep But I gave second thought and wanted a big front So it would have been a little different but it wouldn't have changed internal Why couldn't I do 10*10*4.09 something like that my port length was and I can get the port length perfect all the way up to 12x24 peice of wood I have a laser marker at my work I keep getting told my port isn't good enough but no one has helped me in telling me why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john253a Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Your port need to match the type of sub you have, The 15" you have require 50-60sq" each so 200-240sq" for 4 You can run a smaller port but there is a possible of port noise and less output(the primary reason for a wall) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 ok, what is the "minimum" air space the subs allow for ported. Looks like you may have to go aero port to get the port area you want. Also, everyone is recommending more port area because too little can cause port noise and other issues. Port area is as critical as the volume your subs are in because the air in the port moves back and forth and helps control cone movement as well as how the box sounds. If you go 3/4" for the outer shell of the box you will need mode bracing. I'll leave it up to you to convince everyone to design a box with that option. But remember, you did ask for help and you are getting it. Sometimes we have to sacrifice a little to get what we want.

john253a Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 With 3/4 all round you can get more port then you need, 2" front isn't nessercerly 1.5" is good enough, Your only as strong as your weakest piece, If you use square for bracing you need to round the edges, As for brace in port if you run top to floor at 7" you'll need it, some just use 3/4 mdf down the centre splitting top from bottom, NOT left to right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolbyab1294 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Aero ports sound terrible ...

And 3/4 mdf down The center all the way to the back of box as in separating the two set of subs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
