Port help, y'aaalllll!

Recommended Posts

I would like to get some help on porting this bitch to move a little more air then my prefabbed box. I would like to be tuned around 28-32hz. I would like a port without a bend (if it has too I'll get over it), but I have tried and I keep failing(without bend. The problem I was having was having the port per foot above 12 inches, can I get some help here?

I'm also running 12" RF P3 on an AQ1200.

Make the box a little bigger if you can. Then try different numbers for the port.

Well, I would like to make it bigger, but I'm already overrating the subs by give or take, .5 cb ft and I'm afraid to go any bigger. I've made boxes before, but "played it safe".

Okay then if your over the cubic feet of the sub ehy the hell should it matter the port length??? Make that mother fucker as long and wide as you can to get your desired port tuning????

Really? Someone was telling me a rule of thumb is 12 inches port per foot.

generally speaking the closer you stay to 12sqin per cube the flatter your response curve would be, more port tends to lead to a peaky response but it should get louder at and around tuning with more port.

Im saying that as long as you have the recommended box specs for the woofer after your done with port and sub displacement who cares? Jsut make sure you have at least 12 sq inches of port area and your deisred tuning. Its not hard bro. Hahah just play with the numbers.. You'll get it

Got you know, don't worry about PPF and focus on port area. I think I was just running into some confusion here.

Example: If I used all the calculations I have above and in the calculator I do a sqaure 4"x4" port that the length of 6" I get a port area of 16.00 in² and a port area per foot of 3.73 in², tuned at 32.86 Hz
