harlemn8ive Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 I have been surfing forums and youtube for Hours but the simplest of questions i have yet to find an answer to. I am a noob. I am trying to learn all I can about car audio. I have built a few sealed enclosures even took at shot at a fiberglass enclosure. But I would like to try a ported enclosure. Could anyone give some advice as far as how to determine the best type of port because this is what confuses me I can punch in numbers to get a box but I would rather retain the knowledge to understand how to design one. It also doesn't help that the thickest MDF sold in Japan is 1 cm(.39") Any help would be highly appreciated.

BallzFast Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 i use birch but some around here use 3/4" cabinet grade pine with very good results. 03 Santa Fe E A 200 amp alt,JVC AVX840,kenwood 6.5 fr speakers,eclipse 6.5 rears,mids/high amp XTA-2160, sub amp XTA-5000d,0 guage throughout,batts-front/1 batcap 2000,rear/ batcap4000,2 C&D Dynasty agms, subs 2 DC XL M1 15"s in a music box tuned to 28hz....for now.
Triticum Agricolam Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 Like others have said, just use plywood. People use MDF because its cheap, easy to get, and work well enough, not because its the best thing there is.
