it's a good post, but the only thing i dont like is the RE calc is known to not be 100% accurate. although it is good since it gives a visual for the people who are just breaking into this

Thanks. And that's why I said to use it first to get a basis to start your drawing off of, lol...then you do the real math to see what it's specs really are and tweak accordingly.

You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port...

RE's Enclosure Designer can be found here (it's on their website): http://reaudio.com/speaker_box/LPort_Box_Calc.html

And do a google search for google sketchup and there should be a good handful of places to download it that come up.

Ok, thanks man. I have an already built box and I'm preparing it for new speakers (TOTALLY new speakers, the old ones were.. very old) and you remind me to make sure everything is adjustable.

I'm going to try to follow the port recommendations on crutchfield.com

Why do some people have 4 ports and others have 2? (I've got two and plan on keeping two).

its all about having the rite amount of sq in of port bro. typically it should be 14-16 sq in of port per cu ft of air space in the box. i will help you build a box if you want... its not like you live far from my house. lol

Need any thing chromed? Hit me up!!!
