Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 5880 Registered: Aug-05 | my xmax is off b/c you REALLY don't need 20.94 sq.in. of port per cube for a 12" sub. lol let alone one that will be taking ~1000wRMS... AND "they" say, although i don't know who "they" are, that the higher the tune....the more port area....so the lower...the less that is needed...otherwise to much port area with a low low tune will take on the characetristics of playing "free-air" |
Gold Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 1742 Registered: Oct-05 | o damn so does that mean i should use less port area?? Could i just pvc port it, do u think it will be enough port?? Thanx |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 5898 Registered: Aug-05 | i would shoot anywhere from 12-16 sq.in. of port for daily driving applications. SPL warrants a little more, but it all depends on the sub and the tune in question. |
Gold Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 1743 Registered: Oct-05 | How do i measure the area of a pvc port?Thanx.. |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 5905 Registered: Aug-05 | 4" = 12.5 sq.in. 6" = 18.8 sq.in. so if you multiples of 4 or 6....just double or triple or quadruple those numbers. |
Gold Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 1744 Registered: Oct-05 | kool thanx so then ima try my homemade 4.25" wide flared port...... Im too lazy to put all those port walls in lol. BTW how do u think that sub would sound sealed?? |
Gold Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 1745 Registered: Oct-05 | Not as loud but the sq would sound amazing right? |
Gold Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 1746 Registered: Oct-05 | O you know the calculator at the12volt.com, where u type in the info for the porth length, it tells you to input the volume of the box, so after it tells you how long to do the port, does it expect you to add the port volume also afterwards and that will give you the tuning, or is that the tuning with the port in there with the box volume, but that would make the box volume smaller, lol i dont know im confused.... |
Gold Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 1747 Registered: Oct-05 | Never mind all that i think i got it figured out, i just need to get the volume of my port could i have ur help, or anyone elses?? Ok i need to find the volume of my port in cuft my port is: 4.25"wide X 14.25"long |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 5907 Registered: Aug-05 | yes, the sub would have the flattest curve possible resulting in thebest SQ in the sealed box. also, some people think subs sounds more transparent in a sealed box...like less of a boomy bass and more natural and blended with the music.but is isn't as loud as a ported, sooooo w/e you want man. |
Gold Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 1751 Registered: Oct-05 | lol thanx, well i def want ported but one of these days i might just try sealed just to see how it sounds. |
