Junior Russell Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) They look cool, just a bit of a pain to me. Run the port the full height of the box on the side. i was about to say that lol If you want a port on each side, do 2 subs and 2 chambers with a port coming out of each side. so basically when designing you design one side then just double it? in order to get the cubes and tuning and everythingthat is...

Stephen Raab Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Posted December 8, 2013 Cody the reason I did it like that is, with a full side port to get around 33 hz it had to be like 2" wide or super long I need to find a happy medium. I like the look of a big 4-6" port but with this box it has to be almost to long. How much space do I need for the inner opening? I was trying to keep the port wall from going all the way behind the sub. Quote
CJ18 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 With the port like you have in the picture, you are going to create dead zones on either side of it. I would choose functions over looks. 15in2 of port per ft3 is what I would shoot for. Quote
Stephen Raab Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Posted December 9, 2013 So for a box that is 3.25 ft³ I should be right at 48.75 in². I know im not going to get those exact sizes but ideally this is what I'm looking for correct? So if I did a 5" port it would only need to be 9.75" long??? Am I right with this or completely off?

Junior Russell Posted December 9, 2013 Report Posted December 9, 2013 The math adds up but theory and practice are two diff things so to speak you know?
