fr34kout Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I would either center the sub on the baffle, or make it so that the very edge of the port lines up with the very edge of the sub. Basically draw a horizontal line from the end of the port, and move the bottom of the sub to that line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdog Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 the sub would be in a bad location unless i flipped the box but then the port will be blowing on my arm and ash tray . will i lose performance by having my sub away from the port like this?

Autruche Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 To be honest, just put it where you think it looks good. You are over-thinking the design, and it really won't make a difference where you put it in that simple box. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

You don't need perfect 33 hz tuning, 5.0 cubes, and sub loading placement. Just aim for a general area, pull the trigger, and pound them subs.

Ford302Redneck Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I would either center the sub on the baffle, or make it so that the very edge of the port lines up with the very edge of the sub. Basically draw a horizontal line from the end of the port, and move the bottom of the sub to that line. You want the sub as far away from the beginning port inside the box as possible.

Cause if its wrong, it could caused unloading issues, and also decrease SPL. But mainly, the unloading issue, which in turn you have a uncontrollable sub, that will reach the mechanical limits, and maybe cause it to fail prematurely.
