Sup i wuz wondering, in u have say 2 cuft volume inside an enclosure and thats the airspace u need for a sub and u wanna add a port, the port takes space also right so that will bring down the volume of airspace inside, so how do u figure how much space a PVC port takes up inside an enclosure?? Thanx peeps.

pi * radius^2 * port length = port displacment

you have to factor this displacment into you box caluculations...you tune a box based on 'net' volume, not 'gross'

Say if im making a ported enclosure 2cuft of inner volume, it would be these dimentions if i use 3/4in mdf:w=20 h=16.5 d=14, right? If i add a 3" wide and 9.9544" long PVC port, what would be left of my inner volume?? Thanx.

TJ,

it would be:

3.14 x (1.5^2) x 9.95 = 70.297 cu inches

70.297 / 1728 = ~.04 cu ft

i'm guessing this box is for either 1 10" or 1 12"...so i'm goint to estimate 0.06cuft for sub displacment.

that will make your box ~1.9cuft net tuned to ~29hz.

ps...
w/ a 12.75" long 4" port the box will be 1.85cuft net tuned to 34hz.
