07mazda3s Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 port should prob be around 4-6 inches wide for that sub. Somone correct me if im wrong though. My box is sealed lol. Yeah you're wrong. It doesn't matter as long as its not something stupid like one inch wide or something. Anything over like 2.5 even for a 15 should be fine. That box is gonna blow up though. Eventually the plywood will start to warp and seperate and then it will blow apart from the sub.

ChevyBoy Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 naw its not birch its ply ima try to get up to lowes this weekend and get some mdf and do another ported box..this was my first ported so the port would most likely be "fawkt" it looks small on camera but the port is 2-3 inches wide is it 2 inches wide or 3 or in between? thought you would've known since you built the box. Yeah you're wrong. It doesn't matter as long as its not something stupid like one inch wide or something. Anything over like 2.5 even for a 15 should be fine. That box is gonna blow up though. Eventually the plywood will start to warp and seperate and then it will blow apart from the sub. actually you're sorta both right, but wrong. port area and box size has everything to do with it. the port area depends on how big the box is. thatll tell you how wide it has to be.

07mazda3s Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Ok, if you want to get technical about it, but all I was saying was if you do it right, theres nothing wrong with a 2.5 inch wide port for one 15.
