Box size and Tuning frequency

Bronze Member Username: DuckaShelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 34 Registered: Jan-08 | What would be a good box size and tuning frequency for a 4" ported box that will be holding a single 12" Alpine Type-R? I am going more for SPL than SQ. Thanks, Kevin |

Bronze Member Username: DuckaShelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 36 Registered: Jan-08 | what would you suggest? a 6 inch? |

Bronze Member Username: DuckaShelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 37 Registered: Jan-08 | okay so to tune to 34hz in a 2 cube box what would be the dimensions of the slot port(length, width, and depth)?... If you know of any calculators that can figure this out I can do the work myself. |

Bronze Member Username: DuckaShelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 39 Registered: Jan-08 | I had to make the port go out of the box so that it would be long enough. If there is nothig I can do about it will this set up still work?  |
