solosickness Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) does the airspace in my port count as part of my total box volume? or do i just subtract with mdf wood used too make the port? my port will be slotted and falred "rounded off" H =15 " w =10 " depth= 21" now for my depth of my port...do i measure 21" from the end of the rounded edge of the port "on the outside" or the rounded end inside the port?

siucsaluki11 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 If you feel like payin for a design and endin your headache hit me up, lol. I still say 10 cubes is WAY TOO MUCH for that sub on that power. Youre gunna kill it on 4k in that big of a box. When you run over rated power you wanna run a smaller box.

Sanitarium Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 you coun't the displacement of the port as the airspace in it PLUS the extra wood used to make it. so for a slot port its Internal WxHxL PLUS board WxHxL for one piece of board.

aznboi3644 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 no here as made a clear answer. When talking about enclosure volumes its either gross volume or net volume. Total volume does not specify anything. Net volume is the only volume of air the speaker "sees"...after all displacements Gross is the volume of everything inside the enclosure...driver, port, bracing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
