Box good enough?

[clouduz]

Okay, First off I'm using Exo's Box calculator. I'm looking to get the most out of my (1) 15" XL. It will be running at 2 ohms on a Sundown 3000D. Playing with the calculator I came up with some numbers I hope are okay to use. 20x38x16 (2) 6" aero ports 17" long Port Area 56.52 Net volume 4.86 Tuning 36.74 I listen to a variety of music...to sum it up and make it neater

Height Width Depth

Box - 20 x 38 x 16

Port Area - 56.52

Net Volume - 4.86 cu ft.

Tuning - 36.74

Not looking to do hair tricks just loud and low. I was told a minimum of 12" per cu ft and 16 at the most, currently I have 14 per cu ft. Is my port area enough and the 2 6" aero ports?

Thanks for any input

or this design

same dimensions

port area - 62.8 0 for some reason i get an emoticon for 62 . 80

net volume - 4.58

tuning - 36.62

(5) 4" aero ports 21"

Second box has more port aero but less volume. Which is better? No comps just daily but still want loud and low

The 1st box sounds really good.

Thanks for the reply oldschool. okay was leaning more to that one less holes I have to make for the port...anyone else have an opinion?

Your port area is plenty. If you're using aeroports, you only need 6-10 sq in per cube, not 12-16. This is the effeciancy of aero ports.

im only using a single 8 for my 15 in about 3 cu ft after displacement 2 6s would be plenty
