Ok ive been looking at some subs.

They require .7 cu foot for a ported box tuned to 40 hz.

My box I have is .95 cu foot per sub for two subs after displacement and port displacement. Does the bigger the box get the lower the port is tuned.

Also on another sub

It requires .85 cu foot tuned to 50 hz.

Same box as above

Which sub would work the best. Please help.

The box is tuned to whatever the box is tuned to, for example, you can tune a 4.0cu ft. box to 35 hz just like you can a 2.0 cu. ft box, port length and diameter (or width and height for slot ported applications, basically just the surface area of the port) is what determines tuning frequency. That being said, I can't tell you what your box is tuned to w/o port dimensions or box dimensions. You'll have to measure the boxes inside dimensions and measure the length of the port and diameter. 40 is a high tune, 50 hz is a very high tune, poor SQ there.

I don't know if you have a divider or not, but the tuning freq. is around 40-41 hz give or take a little since I don't know if it's divided. You're better off with the sub needing the 40 hz tune.

That's going by if the dimensions you gave me are outside dimensions, I assumed they were since you gave me the info that the MDF is 3/4.

No divider. So since the boxes are a little bigger then the subs need does that change the tuning frequency any at all or is that box set at that tuning frequency no matter what sub you put in the box.
