CleanSierra Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Where are you getting a metal "psychoport"? I had to repeat your typo because it sounds gangster as Hell. I agree, the 9" is fine if you can get it to a reasonable length for a desirable tuning. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

mrd6 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 ^Not a typo, custom metal flared ports. I'll be using a few in my 6th. I think the 9 will work just fine for you OP.

bbeljefe Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Port area is determined by xmax and tuning, not volume. Here's a calculator: http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=31 Quote Facebook: facebook.com/audioanarchyllc Instagram: audioanarchyllc Youtube: youtube.com/bbeljefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrd6 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) LOL okay so with those calculators say we are tuning to 30hz...we need about a 12" diameter port....with a 5 cube box that port needs to be 60 inches long to get to a 30hz tuning... Do you really think those calculators are the answers to every box building scenario?

CleanSierra Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Those metal ports are insane. That one was 19" port for the bandpass box is NUTS. I think if you're going to go those metal ports, go for twin 5" ports or twin 6" ports. If 5 cubes net and tuning at 32 Hz, only 17" length needed. If the 6" option, they'll need to be quite a bit longer at 25" in length. Two 5" aeros should be enough, twin 6" ports would be where I would go with it.

bbeljefe Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Did I say they're the answer to every box building scenario? As most people understand, box building is a series of trade offs.... especially in the limited space we have in car audio. So if the recommended port is too large, you can reduce the size. How much can you reduce the size? Ask that question in a civil manner and someone will probably answer you. ;-) Quote Facebook: facebook.com/audioanarchyllc Instagram: audioanarchyllc Youtube: youtube.com/bbeljefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
