Could I Add A Port To A Sealed Box?


Recommended Posts

Here you go. WinISD has given me this information, this should work for you. If you can, try and EQ out this little rise at around 38 hz and bring 43hz up a wee bit for flat frequency response.

Sorry for the long post. Overall, you need two 100mm (4") ports, 12" long each. Keep them at least 6 inches away from the walls of the enclosure and you shall be right. Critque away.

Cheers,

Mick

Now say i wanted to add another woofer would that make a difference to it?

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start :D

I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

YES! You would need to double everything listed for it to work properly.

SOOOOOOO pretty much im screwed since the box that i gave him the dimensions for was for TWO subs and i think i wrote to him that i had one(sorry mick my mistake)so i would need 4 ports for both subs and the box i dont think it's big enough for that .

That's why they don't deliver.

For two subs? Hell, that explains a LOT. I was wondering if you wanted this woofer to survive long or not.....

A second driver? Let me have a play, and I'll spare you the pages of numbers this time mate.

This houses two drivers, and performs MUCH better. Vent mach is down and you have a near flat frequency response curve. A touch of cut might not hurt though. Two 4 inch ports still, 242mm long this time.

That should do you. Enjoy.

Mick

so pretty much i can make a hole in my enclosure right or would i have to bulid it new?and if i make them that long lke say the 9.5 inches port with the aero ports woulden it hit the magnet of the sub?

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You may have to get creative with these woofers. You have a box 33 inches wide, designate about 30-31 of that to two woofers. You may have to mount the ports through the top of the enclosure. Not the way I'd prefere to do it, but it might be the only way really.

Adding ports to a sealed box requires a bit of compromise.

Cheers,

Mick
