Anonymous | I used this link - http://www.carstereo.com/help/articles.cfm?id=31 and did the round port calculator but i thought of something since 1 4" round port equals 12.57 sq.in. couldn't i use that theory to get my port size for example on the site I typed in for Quantity of ports-4 then Enclosure Volume-5cu.ft. then Desired Tuning Frequency-32hz and last,Desired Port Diameter-4in. and it came up with a 23.53 Vent Length so multiply the 12.57 which equals a round 4" port x 4 which is the Quantity of ports equals 50.28 sq.in. of port area with a 23.53" vent lenght.Will this work? |

If i looked at your post correctly...the answer is no. here is why: when you put more than 1 port in your box you in effect tune each port for its percentage of the boxes volume. ---EX. w/ 4 4" ports in a 5cuft box...you would divide total box volume by the number of ports and find the port length. since you have more than 1 port the sound waves react differently than if you had only 1 port. -----1.25cuft w/ 1 4" port...the port would have to be 23.53" long. then you just scale that up to 4 4" ports w/ 5cuft...each port would be 23.58" long. w/ 1 port 50.28sq inches, you dont have to do this. the box will only see one place for the sound waves to excape, so you just calculate port lenght w/ 1 50.28sq in port. ---if you have 1 50.28sq in port and tune a 5cuft box to 32hz...the port would only have to be 20.61" long. get it? here is a tutorial on multi-port boxes: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/support_pages.php?page_id=165 |

Anonymous | i was just wondering could i use that site and my formula to convert to sq.in. port it seems like everything matched up put the lenth of the port? And does WinISD tell you the exact box size the exact port size and the exact port lenth cuz if it does im dont have a clue on how to use it |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1824 Registered: Sep-04 | anon- marshal is correct. and as for what your asking. he said no lol. the site has a square port option so you can use that. why are you calculating round ports when your going to make a square port.? also make note that a square port and a slot port do not have equal port length at a given frequency. the site also has the slot or nonslot option. also, if your box is 5cuft before sub and port displacement, remember that the volume you enter in that site is for NET volume, or the volume after sub and port displacment. hope that helps, ask more questions if you need to. |
