this question is for steve, how did you calculate your port on the new box for the tahoe? i'm thinking of going with a similar setup.

12sqin per cuft

  So if i was running 8cubes then I make my port 96sq.ins. Like a port 16"x6" right?

[DVBin916]

thats correct!

I have a couple questions, what does having a ported enclosure "tuned at" mean, like 32hz? And I see on Meades box his port also has depth to it, how do you figure that?

[andym85]

if you are tuned at say like 50hz, then u arent gonna be picking up any low notes. if you are tuned to say 30hz, then you will pound on the low notes. u see tuning in the 50-70hz range for strictly burping in competitions, and around 28-40 for daily driving/playing music.

lower tuning = lower notes

higher tuning = no low notes

once u figure up your port area --simply height*width for sqare ports, or pi*r^2 for round ports--you then use an equation or u can find some port calculators online and plug in your numbers and it will give u a proper depth for your desired tuning frequency. longer port=lower tuning. shorter port= higher tuning. you usually see massive amounts of port area and ports that are very short for spl competitions.
