Why did you link him to my thread about my truck build?

He asked about porting small boxes or specifically porting truck boxes.
What better thread to look at than what you guys just did with a truck box?
Some people might have taken it as a compliment

Port size has more potential variance than people realize IMO, it depends on the overall setup.

Too small of a box will hurt low end frequency production, typically. Just depends on how small.

You can make a port whatever you want it to. I've done 3.5 in^2 per cube to 20 in^2 per cube on ported boxes.

Usually you want to run what fits, don't try to stuff something that doesn't fit.

I'm just trying to put a cheap sub with the right amount of power to get some "bang" for my buck. I think I might just run a single 4ohm 12 in a ported box 1.3cuft with what I'm assuming is 300w rms (2000w crunch amp)

What sub?

I think I might try rockville?

K5

I was thinking of getting a k6 dual 2ohm wired to 4ohm but I'm not sure
