Need sketchup & torres box calc help please!

Probably closer to this?

for 15 square per cube youre close enough with 77.5. otherwise to have 15 per cube perfect you would need 83.40 for 16 per cube youd need 89 square inches.

you wont be able to hear the difference though so you are close enough.

Alright cool. THanks for your help. Now all I got to do if figure out google sketchup and virtually make the box in there.

You may have been referencing to my torres calculations in my thred. According to the torres sticky, under the updates, he says to put the port height in for width, and width for height because he was used to building boxes vertical with a horizontal port... That is why i did it that way. **in the red text on his thread**

"***just to clarify...when doing a slot port to add in end correction, use the port height as the the distance from the box wall to the side of the port wall. switching the numbers will give you a different tuning, as port width will be longer in and it'll extend the tuning a lil further than it should"

Thanks Cashdollar. I overlooked that part. Man, how do you guys get so good with sketchup. It seems mad hard. It's easier for me to just go into photoshop and make a ghetto box but it doesn't show anything like how sketchup does.

Haha it's not too bad man. It just takes a few minutes of playing around. What i did was nothing serious, once you figure out how to draw lines it takes more patience than anything. A little tip to give you to save time is when you have your line at the correct angle, and already know it's langth, hold it at that angle, type the length, and hit enter. It will draw it exactly that length... (saves a bunch of time)

Oh cool, thanks. I could never get exactly 17 inches on there, lawl.WTF, can't make straight panels. What "template" do you use?

Ummm... i just click on "run sketchup" from the main screen and draw everything from scratch. It should start you with the red/blue/green lines for horizontal/vertical/and depth. Like i said, my sketches are nothing close to nice, just time and crunching numbers.

I'm lost. I'm trying to get as close to 4 cubes or over for net air space. Problem is, if I increase height, net air space decrease but port area increases. Lower height, I lose port area but gain net air space. What do I do? I'm aiming for 4 cubes tuned to 35 HZ.

Now with sketch up. I have no idea how I would finish the box aka the front of the box and the port. This is m first time with sketch up so I'm hella lost. If anyone can chime in, help, suggest, anything, Please do. It's 3am and now I got a headache. Time for bed. Here's some pics etc.

looks like you've got little more port then suggested in calc

and how the hell do you plan on putting a 41" long port
