my outer dimensions are 32" wide X 14" tall X 24" deep. it is roughly 4.65 cu ft after sub displacement and before port displacement. i want it tuned to 33 hz but how do i do that?

the only one i've seen is the one subwoofer tools has and it doesn't let you control the port width or depth

make a port 12.5x4x28.75

that will give you 50sq of port which should be good for 2 12s as that is what it looks like that box is for.

i'm trying to keep the box as small as possible, so should i reduce the port area from 72" sq in to 52 sq in, or reduce the volume from 4 cu ft to 3.6 cu ft.

if you reduce your box volume then the port will have to be reduced also. imo you have an optimun box for a pair of 12s with nice port area too. or if you want make the port 12.5x3.25x20

ok make the box this then if want to same on space

32x14x21
that will give you a volume of 3.75 after port

after doing a little math u must have some big 12s. the port i just gave ya is 40"sq instead of the 50" in the first post.

to be honest i am not sure i would go smaller than that box i just gave ya since you will be choking the subs. they wont be able to perform as well as they should. if you need to make the box smaller either go with 1 sub or go sealed.
