Port area for a single 12


Recommended Posts

Depends on many factors, box size isn´t even that important, what sub??? 24SQ of port should be enough for a daily application, my current 12" box has 42SQ of port :)

Add an inch to the port for end correction.

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.

Correct.

Torres adds in end correction but it seems like the tuning is always lower than calculated. It auto calculates one flanged and one free which should be correct when using an aeroport.

For example, if you have a 6 inch tube in between 2 flares, your port length would be 12" (if each flare is 3"). I would type 13" into torres as your length and the tuning will probably be closer to that than if you type in the real 12" physical. Box size, box position, and other things affect how close the tuning will be as well.

Also, I have 2 3" aeros in my box for a total of 14 sq in of port for a single 12. It does fine.
