James671Guam Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 I've got 2 - 12"s 750w dual 4ohm sa series subs freshly ordered. On its way in and been stressing pretty hard on box dimension.. Originally planned on keeping it simple and going with a sealed box but tons of reviews keep pushing toward ported sooo.. With that said, I really need some disparate help box design please. my max width in a 2018 wrx is (width30")--(ht 15")--(depth 25"). so I'm praying it can be done with in this field. Any feed back will more than greatly be appreciated. Thanks again all the way from guam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kocyandia Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Any idea on what you're wanting to tune to? What size amp? I spec'd out a ported box for a single a week ago. I dont remember the dimensions though. It should be able to be done but may be close. Real quick run out in the images. Im sure its not right but its my shot. I couldn't tell you how to begin to use sketchup so I cant help ya there. Close to sundowns reccomendations. But 32hz tuning. Anyone here wanna look that over?

Kocyandia Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 The port length you see that is 33" is how long the center line of the port needs to be. On the side where it says physical port length is how long the actual port wall on the inside of the port needs to be. Not the part that is the sides of the box. But the actual peices you cut for your port. Dont forget the thickness of your baffle counts as port length as well for the centerline length which is the 33" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not a bad design. It needs more net volume, but other than that, it’s nice.

1point21gigawatts Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Physical port length is the length down the center of the port. That 33” is effective port length which is what the subwoofer actual sees. So to figure the physical length or vise versa, you have to factor in the correction factor, which is half the width, or height if it’s a horizontal port, which is 2” in this case, negate that from the 33” effective length and that equals 31” physical port length. That is a long port, so it will make a bend and to find the actual center measurement, you have to factor in that 2” correction factor twice on the bend since it turns a corner in the middle. The port walls will be smaller than 31 total inches, since there is a bend. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the explanation Torres gave for each paramater. Thats what I've been doing this whole time lol. May explain why my current box plays so low.

1point21gigawatts Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 This would be what that port design would be if the port was on the front of the enclosure, not center port, sub back port back, double baffle. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
