jpmo Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 I apologize in advance I had this in sundown audio section but think I may have needed to put this hear for enclosure assistance. Currently working on an Ported Enclosure for 2 E8's in my Jeep Wrangler JKU. I may move in the future to SA-8s but as of now the wife will hold me to the budget. So the following is what I am working with currently. I need help on making sure this will work for Cubic feet and need help on this port length. Please help. Port have separator setting 2 chambers apart. 1.5 in width run to end of enclosure leaving 1.5 from back and leaving me with remainder on Port Extension Length I need help with this extension length to fit into the parameters of the E-8's 40W x12D x 10 H Wall Thickness 0.75 in Front Baffle Thickness 0.75 in External Width (W) 40 in External Height (H) 10 in External Depth (D) 10 in Internal Slot Port Width (SW) 1.5 in each Internal Slot Port Height (SH) 8.5 in each Internal Slot Port Depth (SD) 26 in (?) not sure guessing please help. each Thanks for your patience and co-operation with this.
jpmo Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Posted November 23, 2014 Might have to change port width to 1" would assume give me 27" of port length for 32hz tuning. Question when calculating internal volume do I have to consider the port baffles inside the enclosure if I am running to end -1" for port width making right angle with another 3/4 mdf port wall running for Extended port length?
jpmo Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Posted November 26, 2014 ok this is what I got so far I plugged all into torres and got the following 19.25 box width 9 H and 12 D. My port dimensions are 7.5 H and .5 Wide 13 long puts me at 34hz this port ratio is 1:15. Is this bad? This is for 1 Sundown Audio E-8 or SA-8 . My net volume is .58 cubes. The actual box will be 40 but putting in port wall leaving it 19.25 w per enclosure space. Thanks.

Depending on who you ask, you don't want to go higher than 1:5 - 1:8 and the closer to square the better. The second problem is your don't have enough port area. Sundown recommends 8-12 sq in and you only have 3.75. Its really tough to tune these little boxes low, with enough port area, and still be able to fit the port inside the box. Unfortunately that is just the nature of the beast. If you post a screen shot of what you have entered into Torres that could help us give you some more recommendations.
