Which port design should I use?

[bubbagumper6]

Both have the same port length and tuning, it's just the design that differs...you can post why if you feel like it :)

B. Less turns.

Kind of what I was thinking...plus it gets the internal port entrance farther from the sub.

[bubbagumper6]

Is it going to be a problem that the internal entrance for the port is so close to that other wall? The port width is 2.5" and the end of the port is 6.14" from the right wall.

As long as it's farther than the width of the port from the wall you'll be fine.

Cool, thanks

I would put a small 45 in the corner opposite the port.

A is gross. It screams failure.

I would put a small 45 in the corner opposite the port.

Then I'd have to refigure stuff because of the displacement :(

[Lakota]

I would place the sub right next to the external opening of the port too.

Neither...get some aeros. I'll never use a slot port again.

It's going on the top, I was just going to center it...

I dunno how to do the calculations for aeros :P

I did my box in my car with a design like A and it worked out well for me because it caused the tuning to be a little lower than projected with the friction in the port, etc.

It's about 24 hz or so tuning after everything is calculated and I enjoy the lows I get out of it. It's preference really.

[bubbagumper6]

Box is tuned to 32hz right now...I do love the lows, so I may end up tuning a little lower, it's much easier to raise the tuning later (just add some bracing or something) than to lower it...

[bubbagumper6]

Aight, here's the final (hopefully) design...

Lengthened the port to a round number to lower the tuning a bit, but then added a 45 corner brace (Is the brace too big?) to equal it out (I did actually run the numbers, they were close to being even)

Think it's worth it to put 45's in the corner inside the port?
