This might sound like a dumb question but I want to build my own vented box. Is the vent and the length of the vent count as the enclosure as well. the specs say vented box 1-1.8Ft3. Does that include the vent as well??? or I dont count that...

that is not including the port and the actual volume the subwoofer takes up

so just count the box volume without the port/vent. like if it was a sealed.

Oh I get It. and the specs also say Fo 30-36Hz. Thats what I dont get. Do you determine that by the length width height of vent or its more than that???

Well, that all depends on what the manufacturer states for the spec's of the enclosure and they will usually say that the volume is net or gross volume of the enclosure.

Some companies just throw it all together and don't tell ya sh!t beyond that leaving the person to figure out what is the net volume and displacements involved for the spec's.

Never assume anything unless it's stated or noted per what your trying to determine for an enclosure when it comes to designing it.

they didnt tell me if its net or gross.
All I got was a piece of paper that said this.
PORTED:
VB(ft3)=2.00 <is that net or gross,what is net or gross?
Fb(Hz)=32
Slot Port With=3(in)
Slot Port Hieght=14(in)
Port Lenght=48(in)

Well, there ya have it.

Net Volume can be anywhere from 1 to 1.8 cu.ft.
plus your displacements ( sub, port, port walls, bracing )
