Heroux Posted October 19, 2024 Report Posted October 19, 2024 I am looking for some help with my net volume and port area. The drivers require 30^2 of port area each so I assume I would double it for 2, correct me if I'm wrong. The drivers also recommend .75 cubic feet of volume per or 1 for spl, but as I was researching, I read that a general rule of thumb for net volume is 12-16^2 of port area per cubic foot. Right now, I have the volume set to 3.75 and a port area of 60 which would give me 16^2 per cubic foot. I am a little worried that I am giving these subs too much space as I'll have more than enough power and I don't want to overextend the subs. I am also tuning the box to 32-33 hz and CT sounds recommends 36 for these subs, I listen to mainly rap but a little of everything so I'm hoping tuning the box a little lower will help me play rap a little better although I still am questioning if tuning it to 36hz would be the best option. This is the box that I have designed right now and its pretty much as big as I can go, but as I previously stated I am not 100% sure if making a box that big is even good for the subs Subwoofer Box CT Sounds Dual MESO-10's | Ported Box | Slot (subbox.pro) MESO-10 - 3000 Watt 10 Inch Car Subwoofer - CT Sounds – CT SOUNDS
Joe X Posted October 19, 2024 Report Posted October 19, 2024 Your max internal volume for the two subs needs to be 2 cubic feet no more, for port area what the manufacturer recommends too much leading to a significantly longer port for a given tuning, I recommend about 23-25 square inches per sub.
