PORT Size Calculations and Formulas for WOOFER and Subwoofer BOXES (http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=31)

i am wonder if this **** calculater is worth a **** the box will be 2.25 cubes looking to tune to 36hz the port i was gonna make 13.75" tall and 4" wide does it really need to be 65.07" long to achieve that..

Well the calculator is very accurate but I don't know where you came up with 65.07" long? It said 42.71" long for me...

That is a lot of port area for that small of a box though, you should seriously consider using much less port or a bigger box depending on what you're using for subs and what you're trying to achieve.
