New member Username: AufdeHartford, Wi USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-07 | I've never made a box for anything before and have done some research, I want to see if I'm on the right track. What I have so far are some dimensions: One of these for each sub: 12 x 8.46 x 16.9 comes out to about 1 cubic foot(I haven't calculated the volume of the sub yet and I will change my box size accordingly). Then for the vent: Diameter:1.935 inches Length:3 inches Tuning frequency: 40 htz I found the box size by using a ratio I found (.7 x 1 x 1.4) that is supposed to produce the best results. And I used a calculator (http://www.ajdesigner.com/phpsubwoofervented/port_length_equation_fb.php) to find the vent dimensions. Let me know what you guys think and I don't mind constructive criticism(I'm not gonna kill myself if you guys think I'm stupid), and thanks in advance for the help. |

New member Username: AufdeHartford, Wi USA Post Number: 4 Registered: Oct-07 | Yeah, I have 10's. Is the 1.5-1.7 ft^3 the box volume without the sub in it? Or would I have to add the sub volume to 1.5 ft^3 to get the box dimensions? |
