I designed this box...how does it look? Is it ok to have 2 vents like this?
3.685 ft^3 tuned to 32.43hz I calculated it with winisd. Designed it on Autocad...
There have been a couple of changes since I printed these I have increased the ports to 12" long instead of 10 which dropped the tuning and the volume of the enclosure. The box is 36" long by 13.5" high.

the ports are both 2"x10"x12" interrior
(2*10*12=240/1728)=.138888 ft^3 each

the internal volume of the box -sub and port is 3.685 ft^3

Your tuning on that box is not correct, and that box is pretty big for a single 12. Try aiming for around 2.5 cuft.

I think the problem that you had when calculating your ports was that you calculated it out for one port and then you just cut the port length in half and then made 2 ports....correct?

This is a good site for calculating ports.

Yes. I would recommend designing a box that is 2.5 cuft after sub and port displacement though. 3.6 cuft is pretty big for a single 12. I think it would perform a lot better in a 2.5 cuft box. JMO

I put the numbers into that site you gave me and the numbers are completely different than what winisd is giving me...which ones are accurate?
