Enclosure Question - which side... .. ..

[TrippiN]

Just a quick question. I been building boxes for a few years here and there learned 98.2% of it from here, RoE, etc.

Anyways, I have always had 2+ subs, every build dual sub enclosures, or small singles for each sub pending space, use, etc. So I have (1) Power Acoustik P3 12".

Made a box for my Lancer, ~2.2ft3, 32hz, but I don't know if it matters where I mount the sub. Im gonna try sub back port back, but I don't know if the sub needs to go to the left (closest to the port) or to the far side. Every time I build a box of this width, I have (2) subs in it. I never heard pros or cons on where to put it for a single box. Any input, does it matter? Gonna cut the sub hole today so just curious.

Whatever position that makes the port inner end farthest from the sub, also your port seems rather thin (therefore less efficient) as the box is taller than needed for the sub, it's better to increase box depth.

Just did a standard 1.5" port, 8"x12" ~2.2 cu, used RE Box Calc, always used it on ported builds. WIth sub installed top & bottom only 3/4" gap (cause of bezel). Picture is deceiving i guess. Think the box dimensions were 31W x 17H X 11D. I went ahead and cut the hole farther away, and finished fiber glassing the inside. happy u posted that lol.
