IKnowImLost224 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 How do you put the port ratio into affect as far as tuning? Like what is the benefit of it and what is it telling you? May be a dumb question but I don't really understand it lol
Torres Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 nothing as far as tuning. but i like to keep my ports to a 1:6 (width:height) ratio, or close to it. too thin and it's very prone to port noise. so i put that in there so it's easier than using a calculator each time you change the port
IKnowImLost224 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 Cool thanks for the response! Also why'd you get rid of port area range? I found that to be pretty useful! :^)
Torres Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Posted September 9, 2012 it's a general rule of thumb, but i found people using that to be a guide, which was not quite its intent. i still have the port area per foot box there, so that should still be able to help out in pretty much the same way
Jessica Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Mobile and mac versions are probably not going to happen, but has anyone asked about a flash or html version. I mean just a web version, then platform would be irrelevant. Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Torres Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Posted September 11, 2012 yeah i have been asked that actually. i would like to do that one best, because then it wouldn't matter if you were on mobie, windows, mac, etc. i am going to have to get more in depth with that
Captain Stupid Posted September 12, 2012 Report Posted September 12, 2012 I just wanted to come back here and say thank you very much for the great calculator. It was invaluable in helping me to design the box I now have in my truck and I love it! I finally broke the 150 barrier and I'm so ecstatic, I can barely control myself.

audiofanaticz Posted September 12, 2012 Report Posted September 12, 2012 Bring back the port area range, for some reason im getting bombarded with questions asking if they have too much port area on facebook. like so. LOL
Torres Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Posted September 12, 2012 hahaha wow. guess my plan for that might have back fired. should i keep it 12-16? or shift it some? and thanks cap'n glad it was useful for ya!
audiofanaticz Posted September 12, 2012 Report Posted September 12, 2012 hehe. what was your plan for removing it? sorry if I didnt previously read it in all the reviews personally I think the port area per foot serves the same purpose since it tells you how many sq inches your at per cube. Its your call, maybe people should just read more like me?? hahahaha The 12-16 per cube was nice, but was also thinking if there was any way to modify that so you can select a woofer type. Maybe something for woofers with less excursion that only get 8-11.99 sq inches per cube. Something more for your mainstream brands with smaller surrounds, than the 12-16 for your woofers with huge widerolls and eroms surrounds that moving 30mm 1way is typical for. the whole cm and mm conversion was a great touch!! Theres been a few guys overseas that Ive recommend this too, and they constantly where bi*ching about converting numbers. LOL
