Nicc2nastii Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I need a ported box designed for 2 Massive GTX102 that’s a little under powered if any one could help I would great appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rpg663 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Massive has a contact email, [email protected] that you can contact. They don’t provide Thiele/Small parameters so you really don’t have the info you need to design one from scratch. I’m not sure if you could also just double the requirements for a single woofer in a ported box, maybe someone can chime in on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicc2nastii Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I found all the specs for the sub but I’m not too sure with the programs and port size and length I will post them below and maybe someone can plug the numbers and let me know I’ve tired many programs but not to sure what I’m looking at.

Rpg663 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 So some manufacturers suck at giving box specs and I'm not sure where Massive stands. I'm looking at the EBP which is calculated by taking the F(s), or open air resonant frequency of the speaker and dividing it by the Q(es), or the electrical dampening of the speaker. This decides whether a driver is better suited for a sealed or ported box. EBP = 46.2 / 0.825 = 56 - So the sub in question is heavily favoring a sealed box, but could also be effective in a ported box. From here, I like going to speakerboxlite.com and putting in the parameters and playing with the box size to fit my car. The port calculations were super weird when I messed with it though, so I just doubled the net box size to reach 2ft^3, and doubled the port size to 14.01in^2. You could have a normal square port (not slot port) that's 7" x 2" or 14" x 1", and 5.83" long. Then if you wanted it fully inside of your sub box, you would have to add more area to reach the net volume of 2ft^3 (56.63 liters). The port would take up 71.4in^3 of volume (1.17 liters), leaving out the .75" thickness of the wood. Then you measure sub displacement by figuring out how much room they take up in the box which is really just measuring and I think WinISD has an easy way to do it as it gives you the exact things you have to measure with a ruler or whatnot. So add whatever that is, plus the port displacement, plus the net box size. So 56.63 + 1.17 + sub displacement = 57.8l + sub displacement. Last step is really to make a box with that gross internal volume stated above by measuring your space you want it to fit in, and make sure it's big enough to mount the subs solidly where you want them on the box. If you have any further questions, let me know. Or if anyone sees anything they disagree with because they know Massive better than I do, please correct me.
