Port Ratio


JR Yonts

Recommended Posts

The port area is too small on the middle one. As far as the shape, I'm not sure if they would sound any different. The square port might be more efficient I don't know.

What vehicle is this going in and what amp are you going to be running?  Input power is going to be a big factor is how much port area you need.  

3 common wall slot ports are the easiest to build and help strengthen the box.  As long the port aspect ratio won't be over 1:5 that would be my suggestion.

Their going in a 300zx with 1200 watts rms. I was just wondering if a square port would sound better than a rectangular port. The box is going to be similar to this.....

As long as the port is sufficiently sized and the aspect ratio doesn't get above 1:5, they are all going to sound the same.

Trit, when you exceed that aspect ratio, are you more likely to have port noise/chuffing? Curious why that ratio is important.

Yeah port noise/chuffing is part of the reason.  High aspect ratio ports have a higher amount of internal surface area than a lower aspect ratio port does.  This increases air resistance which can lead to port noise along with port compression.  Its bad.

Can an increased port area make up for a higher ratio?
