but... with what? me and amatt just did. our calculations are .11 off in cubic space, and .22 difference in hz. probably less than that cuz i think i rounded. there wont be an audible difference between the two whether it went one way or another. pretty good imo considering we're using 2 different calculators

Yup.....I'm now in the QBABA mode........Quit B!tch!n And Build Already.

So I took Accordman advise and ditched the exta baffle on the bottom of the box, and just went with one divider board instead of 2. Those two changes alone have given me roughtly .2 cf of space to bring me up to aroud 5.4 cf of total space per sub. Not the 5.75 recommended by DC but close enough. I still kept the port lenght at 31 and my tuning is now looking right at around 33Hz.

I still had a hint of doubt so I did one more mockup, this time single 6inch port that around 19inches long. Still around 21.75 inches high and that gave me a tunning of around 30Hz. I get roughly around 11.3 cf of combined airspace. That is including the port/subs/45's displacement.

So this is it. No more sketchup drawing. No more waiting. My day tomorrow will start off with me and the old dude(my dad) at home depo buying sheets of MDF and maybe a tablesaw. What I'm looking for out of this final post by me in this particular thread is between these two enclosure designs........which one would you go with? The dual port box tuned to around 33Hz or the single port box tuned around 30Hz
