ok, ill wait. But i do have to make a project in my metals class lol, so what do you think about a box with interchangeable ports, would it be worth building, or should i just try out a sealed box to see how my sub would sound in it?

What you will have to do is ask yourself how large do i want this adjustable box to be. (hence carrying it) Also what are my trucks entrence demensions so that i can easily place this in my truck for testing with my subwoofer. Then take those demesions l x w x h and figure in the internal airspace within the adjustable box. You will need to also figure out a sliding mechanism to be able to pull the rear of the chamber in or out to adjust to the cubic feet desired internally. These amounts will need to be figured mathmatically and then labeled on the outside part of the sliding chamber so that you know what cubic feet you are at. Then make an adjustable port slot square anywhere from 2 inch to 4 inch pvc or figure in adjustable slot ports to place inside. Then when you want to go sealed make a plate that locks over the square port plate opening and youve got a sealed box. You could also design this for a bandpass addon too but well keep it simple. Go to any box volume calculator site if you want to know where your starting at cubic feet wise.

oh man lol, thanks for all that info but i think ill wait off and just try out a normal sealed box and carpet that for now, and then after u do that triple chamber box ill see whats up. Do u happen to know how many cu ft. I should aim for (w/o sub displacemenet) for the sealed box with my sub?
