how do i figure out how big i have to make the port?

Good luck with your port that will have less distortion, less to no compression, and less turbulence, and better driver cooling.

But you know, who wants a good sounding box..

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

So you want a port with more volume than the box?

Doesn't matter the size of the box, you still need X port area, no matter Y net volume.

When designing a driver enclosure, with space limitations, don't pick drivers that will require more gross volume than you have to work with.

Have you ever build a box with a port almost the same area as the cone area?
