Stewie_21 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 So I have a question. I've been doing car audio as a hobby since I was 15 & i'm now 35yrs old. Back in the day I was doing basic sealed enclosures & for the past few years I have been doing nothing but ported enclosures. I've been following the 12-16 sq inches of port area per cube method but recently was told that really isn't the way to go. So I'm basically looking for some input on this topic. What methods does everyone else use? Basically the type of builds I'm into are more SPL oriented rather than SQ. I had one buddy tell me he determines his port area by looking into the TS parameters and power applied. Thanks in advance for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert8252 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I just do 20 inches per cube and hope for the best. Not really but I've used more than that with awesome results. Depends on the sub and tuning.

Triticum Agricolam Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I do pretty much the same thing as hdorre, simulate the box in software and see what kind of port area I need to keep port velocity at a reasonable level.

Stewie_21 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I do have software. Just trying to not use it as I'd rather bust out the pen and paper more. I still use software though to just get port length. I've got bass box pro 6,termpro, both alpha & beta winisd, and torres box tuning calculator.

fox_racin4 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 i have always gone on the high end. my truck has ( has port plugged currently) 25" per cube roughly, and it worked. every vehicle is differnt also, box position also, try doing a box with alot of port, worst case you can shrink 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
