When figuring how much volume a port will displace do i consider the port to be a solid cylinder or do i take its literall volume?

slot or pvc??


to get the volume of each.

1. slot.

find the port area...by measureing the height and width of oyur port opening. then take that number and multiply it by how many inches deep your port is going to be.

2. pvc or flared.

do the formula pier2

pie = ~3.14
r = radius of the circle....or half of the diameter.
if you have a 4" then the r = 2, 6"...r = 3:-)

after you have done the pier2 formula to get the area. you then multiply that by the depth of the port. and you have your volume:-)

if you have multiple ports than you simply mulitply you total area by however many you have.

to answer your question, when configuring port volume...oyu use either one of those formulas i have...so literal volume.:-) lol

actually that would be the volume if it were a solid cylinder. literal volume would be how much the port displaces is water so only the wall thickness would displace the water. So how do i factor it in, as a solid cylinder, or has its actual volume(just the wall thickness not counting the air inside the port)?

EX...you want a 1.75cuft box tuned to 35hz w/ a 4" pvc port for your 12" RE SE.

for 1.75cuft net (volume after all displacements accounted for) you would need a 4" port 12.95" long. (call it 13")

port displacment---0.095 cu ft
sub displacment---0.15 cu ft

the gross(total) box volume you would need to get the box correct would be 1.995 cuft
(2cuft :-)).

get it?

ok i got it i think . so you factor in the air inside the port as well as the tube itself rite? so you take the OD of the port and find the volume as if it were solid. correct? in other words it is not the actual volume of the port. because the ports voulme is actually very small because it is not soild.
