Im building my 1st box for 2 12s.. they need 1.65 cu ft (recommended amount) i want the port in the center . Can someone tell me how i can find out how big the port should be? Thanks also. Right way in finding out the air space and how to tune if that matters?

Dude you have made like 3 different threads asking the same thing...

Give me the max dimensions you have to work with and will give you all your specs and a cut list.

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?

He never said which 12s yet. It may not require that much port depending on the subs and tuning preference

They are db drives, like I said he has made multiple threads asking the same thing.

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?
