[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8535047, member: 650438"] Your whole box is too small to begin with. You cant expect to port a sealed box and think it'll work. It will not work whatsoever. Almost all of the times ported boxes HAVE to be MUCH bigger than sealed boxes. Its just how its meant to work, it just works that way physics wise. If its not big enough you are strangling the sub and killing any chance it has to get loud or sound good along with cause port noise as well. here's an example of a box in metric system with centimeters and liters thats of proper size, port is still kind of small to be honest but it should work. If you really want to port a box, find a 12 inch or 10 inch subwoofer box and make a baffle for your 8 and then port those boxes. They have a much better chance of being big enough than a sealed 8 inch box. Your sub is too nice to be put in a junk designed box thats choking it for air.
