Post Number: 8388 Registered: Jul-05 | if u said u doubled the port AREA but then u say ".it has the same port length and port volume" - how is that possible ? from what i noticed on ALL online calculators - wider the port the longer it is ..... ex play around with this & see 4 urself - http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=31 |

Silver Member Username: ShmanGrandville, Michigan United States Post Number: 267 Registered: Mar-06 | ok... i had a box design http://subwoofertools.com/forum/ported-box.asp?Ew=28.5&Eh=15&Dia=6&Xmax=20.5&Vd= .018&NumW=1&Vb=2.2&Fb=28&Qts=&Vas=&Fs=&CE=0 .......so since i wanted to put a plexiglass window in the MIDDLE i had to figure out how to get the port kind of out of the way so i put half on one side (going by length/width) and half on the other http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/3368/newplexibox7ae.png.....get it??? twice the portAREA... same length and volume.......im soooo confused right now....... |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 8389 Registered: Jul-05 | well these days i'm experimenting with some ideas using pvc ports since its cheap/less work in my install thread u will see i originally had a single 3" pvc port tuned 34hz - so i was always curious what it would be like with 2 exact same 3" pvc ports so i used that same calc above & did it . Now it sounds alot more louder (ton more SPL/travelling bass) BUT i found that some notes i find its NOT as accuarate as b4 - so im thinking about going back to A single 3" pvc again . Never tried rectangle/square ports on these Rs - so soon i'm gonna try it & then finally a completely new slot ported box in upcoming wks .... |
