Owen Hix Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 im currently working on a design for my 2 18's walled in my colorado. shell is going to be almost touching my seat and was going to do a side port. but i have since decided to try and make it a top port instead since there is more room to the air to go. on torres i have a design but is a port ratio of 1:10 to much? ive read the general rule of no higher than 1:9 but to get the tuning close to where i want i cant make it any lower. im not worrying about competing i jsut want a daily ground pounder. any help would be appricated. thanks -05 Chevy Colorado- Kenwood KDC-352U Headunit Skar VXI-65 front component speakers Polk DXi650 rear speakers Alpine MRP-F300 4 chan.

Triticum Agricolam Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I don't think you are going to get many tips other than redesign your wall so you can fit a lower aspect ratio port. I've heard some folks say keep it under 5:1, other say keep it under 8:1. I try to stay under 6:1, but the closer to square the better.
