gmsierra2000 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 so...... I am new to building subwoofer boxes, I have been all over the internet to find this answer and can find it anywhere.. my gear is 2 15" Rockford fosgate T1D415. I am building a box with a center port to 30 hz (Rap). I used re audio sub builder calculator to get my measurements, my problem lies in the port width. It states that if I build a box for one sub then I will need a port width of 3" and 3" from the rear port wall to the rear box wall, but if I build two separate boxes and remove the port wall from both boxes to become one big box port down the middle of the sub box so each sub will have its own individual port structure will my port width double to 6" with 3" around port wall to the back of the box or stay 3" wide with 3" rear port wall to the back of the box? im trying to figure out the center opening like the picture below... should that be 6" or 3" with 3" opening all the way around the port wall inside the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 The shared portion of port space is only the slot in the center, and this is the part that would double. The port size on the rear will stay the same as a single sub box. 2002 Monte Carlo Started a build log Fi, DC, Mechman, XS Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe X Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Yes the shared port it's done 6" to 3" after the turn, do you really have 58.5" wide though?? What vehicle is it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmsierra2000 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 this is going in a 2000 GMS sierra ex cab, I removed my rear seat to make a custom box. I want to make the two Rockford 15" T1D415 rock the shit out of my truck, so hopefully at 30Hz tune it will get it done, I am running a RF1500bdcp amp down to 1 ohm, birth sheet 1750 watts rms.. I usually make sealed sub boxes (easy) and this is going to be my first curf ported box. both port and subs will be firing towards my driver and passenger seat. do you guy think my set up and box idea will get me the result that I am looking for from the information I provided above?
