if you dont wanna help. then dont. but thanks for replying.

I liked it and thought it did a good job of getting the basics out there. I guess you could go deeper into the benefits of tuning low vs high and why SPL is tuned higher and why a lower tuned box is known more for SQ than the higher tuned boxes and what happens to the air pressure at tuning etc but that is more acoustics and sound wave tech jargon than what might be needed.
Great job

thanks man. i could have sworn i missed part somewhere though. but i cant figure out where.

i may go deeper into *why* you should tune low, but ill write that in a seperate article so that they dont get off track when learning how to do it, ya know?

Fs - the tuning frequency of the box or port - measured in square inches, in^2

FS is not measured in sq in.

Vb - the enclosures net volume - (length x base x height) measured in eaither cubic inches or cubic feet, in^3 or ft^3

Net volume should be explained as internal measurement after all displacements. -and- what about measuring in Liters...?

Lv - the linear (down the middle) length of the port - measured in inches - in

Explain about measureing through turns (L & "Labyrinth" Ports grow long very fast because of this).

Av - the cross-sectional area (port mouth) of the port - (base x height) measured in square inches, in^2

What about Pi*R^2?

On your box diagram you didn't account for the (3/4"?) width of Port Board 1 when you 'measured' "Y." -and- It looks like "X" only measure to the interior of the baffle. It should measure right to the atmosphere (outside).

When I click onthe "Port Calculator" link the result is:

404 Error Page
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable

No offense, I would Just feel that If I'm putting up a public page I would try to have it all as close to perfect as I could get it.

Hope this all helps.
