hhowell1990 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I'm designing a new box for my BTL and since I went up to an 18 when I re-coned it my current box isn't big enough(about 3.5 cu ft net) I have it designed, but for my tuning I have a port without a bend in it. I've never put a bend in a port and just wanted to make sure that my design is right. For my tuning I need to have 27.5 inches of port length, and the wall my ports are going on are only 19.25 inches from the opposite wall of my box.

lukaQ Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I think one port would be better to use then one imo Quote Got carbon fiber dust cap??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhowell1990 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 You mean using only one port instead of 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cqtama Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 yea i think thats what he means. its a little bit easier to just build one port so you dont have to worry about screwing one up and having differnt tuning on each side Quote R.I.P '01 blazer you treated my ears well until your transmission blew up.

hhowell1990 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Ok, with the port length calculator i'm using if I go with a single port that's 18x9 or 162 in of port area i'd have to bring it within 3 inches of the opposite wall of where my port comes out, but if i put a bend in it where the bend continues on I'd have to use a piece of MDF that's 1/4" long, so i want to use more port area would using 180" of port be too much for a box that's about 11 cu ft before port displacement?

hhowell1990 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 The box on the left is the one I first designed, so you guys are saying that a design like the one on the right would be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
