Edit: all work done here just need an answer
(2) 4" aeros tuned to 38hz
I couldn't figure out what the calculator is asking for.
My box is:
3.13 cubes
.177 cubes sub displacement
.2 cubes port displacement
So what do i enter into the calculator for Volume of Box in Cubic Feet
http://www.psp-inc.com/
Either:
(1) sub displacement for... approx 3
*Flare Length Port required 13.71*
(2) sub & port displacement for... approx 2.8
*Flare Length Port required 14.83*
Cubes:

Take your total box volume (3.13) and subtract total sub and port displacement. This give you your internal box volume.

Well, what number should i enter into the calculator because...
port displacement for:
3.13 - .117 (sub) to 38hz = length of 13.66 = displacement of .212
total internal 2.79
but if i enter this into the calculator is changed the length to 14.89 instead of 13.66 which gives me a whole different internal because the displacement is higher.

3.14 x 4 x 13.66 = 171.56 x 2 = 343.12 / 1728 = .198cu ft <--port displacement(both)
.198 + .117 = .315 total displacement sub and ports

How to Calculate Internal Box Volume
* Area (rectangle) = Length x Width
* Area (triangle) = 1/2 Length x Width
* Area (circle) = 3.14 x Radius x Radius
* Area (circle) = .785 x Diameter x Diameter
* Volume (rectangular box) = Area (of one side) x Depth
* Volume (triangular enclosure) = Area (triangle) x Depth
* Volume (cylinder) = Area (circle) x Length
* 1728 Cubic Inches = 1 Cubic Foot
* 28 Liters = 1 Cubic Foot

.198 + .117 = .315 total displacement sub and ports
Ok that makes sense. my only problem/confusion is even though the length of 13.66 was calculated for 3.01^cube box which now after all displacements is going to be 2.81 net internal volume this would make the tuning much higher around 40hz :crap: which is unwanted.
psp calculator is confusing because they don't clarify what they're asking for...

make each port 13.5 long and u will be at 38hz
