[QUOTE="Sguirrelfeather, post: 8873930, member: 668995"] Appreciate the input! I'll check out the calc site and see how it compares. I'm in the beginning stages of building the box. Unfortunately with something like this it's so custom (lots of changes were made to her truck) that I have to build a piece, measure for the next, cut, glue, measure, and so on. lol Once I have a firm box size I'll be able to figure this out a bit better. I do think I figured something out though. Tell me if I'm cracked? Ideally you want to determine desired box size, calculate port, and then expand the box accordingly, correct? I'm, of course, stuck with figuring out max box size and trying to determine port size, subtract that from the box, re-calc, etc. That really didn't work for me, but I then tried taking max box size, subtracted a little more than 1/3 the volume, and then used that to calculate port size and length. When I laid out the port it was a good match. I wound up with a little more volume left in the box though, but I figured if I simply install some bracing (being careful to measure and account for them) I figure I should be able to take down the volume until it reaches the level I calculated. While I know a larger box, to an extent, is probably desirable, but I don't know what effect it would have using a port calculated for a smaller box in a bigger box....if that makes sense. [/QUOTE]
