Sound Qubed port velocety issues

i am modeling a box for a sound Qubed HDS 12"

using box specs provided by Sound Qubed

1.75cuft +port and driver displacements

28sqin port 21.5" long

i rear port velocities top 130ft/sec. i know ideally i need that number below 110ft/sec.

i have played with port dimensions while maintaining the 28sqin spec.

does anyone have any suggestions??

Thank you for and and all suggestions and information.

Adding more area will lower velocity

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.

Have experience with the older hds12 rated for 600rms. Used 2 cubes with two 3" Aeros. Not sure how much they have changed but they need a lot of port and power to get moving

and big enclosures

An ideal box for the HDS12 is 2.2 net with 16sq" of port opening area per net cube tuned 36-38hz. The sub will work in boxes from 1.75-3.0 net cubes.

Port per cube is crap. Do the math to figure out close to what you need.

It gets you near with port per cubr, but then again what would the creator of the parameters to determine loudspeakers know.

Larger net, port area is what the manufacturer wants their subs setup, 2.25-2.5 net 35-40 square inches of port area. You can make your mind about their preferences but if you are just wanting a small box DC Audio 12s will work on 1.25-1.5 net.
