David Mears Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I have a question. I dont wanna go through 30 pages to find it though. Can someone tell me, if I wanted to do an L port (sub forward and port forward), how many common port walls that would be? I only have one sub, which is a solo x 18. Also, if my box depth is 21 inches and kicker says my port should be 21 inches long, where do I start the L at? Does it matter? Im assuming that since my port width is 5 inches wide, that the L part of the port needs to have a distance of 5 inches from the back wall as well. I appreciate any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksoul989 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 For a single port both calculators will give the same, for multiple port Torres failed last time I checked so use the PPI, one thing you should be aware of is that PPI needs the net internal volume. thank you, i kinda guessed that was the issue cause single port was far closer then trying to measure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate any help put 3 as the common walls. and yes you're correct on 5" from the back wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hello ! How it can be, when I used data for sub enclosure from this post => http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149342-box-build-help-alpine-type-r-swr-12d4-2012/ as an example to check torres calculator, I get different results ?? Thank you Here is the screenshot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 You might have the older version, i can't tell for sure. Try changing the port width or length, just type the same number in again and see if anything changes. If it does, you will need to download the new version.

Can you help me out? Ill post a screen shot of what I typed in. Im shooting for a 10 cu ft box with 1.84 cube port at 150 inch area for the port. Im really close. I dont know the cutout designs for the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mears Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Theres the picture of the dimensions. How is the cut out for my port supposed to be , it only says too complex to display, but it says it bends, and I dont know the length of the second half. I can easily calculate the pirt part of the L since I know it just has to be 6 inches of clearance from the back wall. Im not too savy with finding port length. I typed in 19.5 for physical dimension, so Do i subtract 19.5 from the length that it will take(12.75) to make the first part, and use that difference for the second half of the L? I want this thing tuned to 35 precisely and dont wanna waste wood and time by not asking haha. I know port distance is measure a weird way....

David Mears Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 It says too complex to display. I would just like a cut out sheet list for the port in order to get my box to preform like said ^. I got the first one. it should be 12 inches by 24.5. But im not sure about the bend part, because og competence or whatever its called. Im cutting out all the wood tomorrow so if u could get back at me id appreciate it! And strange duck helped me get a visual of how it will look. Ill attach it to this message. We both were kinda confused as to how it really works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markous Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Probably beating a dead horse with this ? but, The physical port length value, is that the centerline measurement of the port or the length of the interior port wall?
