Is that worth worrying about? Seems high to me. I thought I read somewhere that ideally it should be between 12-16. Sorry to be a pain. That 12-16sqin per foot is just a rule of thumb. Really comes down to trial and error and power output like reedal is saying. Try out bass box bro and you can see how it will perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be a pain. as fmedina said, it's a rule of thumb. if you were only using a single 1400.1 amp, that rule would probably work well for your enclosure. but when using more power you need more port area to reduce loss of output due to port compression. here's a good thread to check out showing testing of different size ports and port compression SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
