Port questions


Recommended Posts

Posted

My first question is what frequency should I tune my port to? I have honestly no idea.

Second, should I go with a round port, or slot, or what?

Third, does anyone know a good port calculator? I found this one ( http://www.psp-inc.com/psp-inc.com/cgi-bin..._calculator.cgi ) but it's only for round ports. If I go with a square or rectangular port, it won't help me at all.

My comp setup (Not bad for what it is):

HP Compaq Presario V6120US laptop with:

15.4" widescreen

AMD Turion 64 X2 1.6GHz processor

2x1GB stick DDR2 SDRAM (667 Mhz)

Seagate Momentus 500GB SATA HDD

128MB shared video memory

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

12 cell Lithium Ion battery (actual battery usage time: 6 hours)

What it does:

I like the re port calculator myself. Done 2 boxes from it so far and they both sound great. Its also pretty stupid proof. lol. Just google for it. I like slot ports. There easier for me to build (less router work) and they seem to get louder from what Iv experienced. Although some guys will tell you that aero ports sound better but every ones ear is different.

Tuning frequency depends on the size of the sub and the brand also. I would say some where between 32-38hz is adequate.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. I reckon I'm gonna go with a slot port tuned to 36 Hz.

I couldn't ever figure out that PSP port calculator, I mean it says I need a 2.25 straight length port required, is that ft or inches or what?! I'd stay away from that one...

its in inches. psp-inc calculator is great.

So what your sayin is... a box with 3.5 cubic feet, 35hz, port diameter of 3", with 1 port needs a port length of 2.25inches?
