...for a re se 12"
DBfan helped me hammer this out, but i wanted to see what the rest of you thought before i begin construction.
using 3/4 MDF
external = 18H x 26W x 14D
internal = 16.5H x 24.5W x 12.5D
Port is 22.14", 16.5H x 2W - 33sq. in. of port
Total usable is 2.924^3

Ok, you have:
internal = 16.5H x 24.5W x 12.5D
Port is 22.14", 16.5H x 2W - 33sq. in. of port
gives you 2.92cu'
the port takes up.
(22.14 -.75 (subtract .75 for front of box)) x 16.5 x (2 + .75 (add .75 for inner port wall)) / 1728 = .56
2.92 - .56 = 2.36cu' usable space...and you still need sub displacement.
To tune this box (w/o sub displacement) to 34Hz that port would only need to be 3.6" long.

I see that's the last time I try to help someone. Smart people kill me!:(

Fine, but I was just giving you the data that WinISD was giving me.
You asked, I replied. You don't like it, go somewhere else.
