Anonymous | my sub is 0.075cu ft.....0.79cu ft is as big as the box my friend's 10 is in...lol anyways.... the volume of my box w/o the sub or vent is 2.25cu ft and 1.79cu ft with the sub and vent. i know that vents can have bends in them, but how do i measure it??? my vent has to go down one wall of the box, hit the back of it and bend....do i just make the 27" measurement on the wall of the box or do i measure the wood that makes up the vent??? also is a 12"x2" vent that is 27" long in a 2.25cu ft box create the tuning im looking for???(34hz)??? one other thing....after i subtract the driver displacement, vent volume, and volume of wood used to make the vent i have 1.79cu ft left in my 2.25cu ft box....maybe this will help in some way. |
