kl0wn Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Yes. Changing the shape of the box will result in changing how much cuft is in the box, causing the tuning to change with it. 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz
Team_DC-Derrick Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 what type of box are you talking about first? 2nd, if you calculate the change in the box and punch in the numbers and make the port to length of what you need for your desired tuning, it shouldnt be effected at all.

R_Mac_1 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 I don't know about frequency, but doesn't the shape of the box affect things like standing waves? Like, aren't boxes that are a perfect cube bad? And isn't there a "golden ratio" for box dimensions? 2002 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi Pioneer DEH-P6000UB Alpine SPX-17REF 6.5" components (active) Sundown SAX-50.4 Sundown z15 (3 cubes @ 35 hz) Sundown SAX-1200D 2006 Buick Rainier CXL AWD V8 Stock Bose system 12" Alpine Type E in aeroported box Profile AP1000M
Mac58 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Posted March 2, 2010 No. I dont mean changing cubic feet. Lets say you had a box 6 cubes after displacement tuned to 30 hz in a perfect rectangle. Then you had another box that was also 6 cubes but was more of a trapezoid or some other odd shape. Would the tuning frequency change? Thanx!
