Im building a ported box using re caculator.

The box is 28x17.5x14.5

Comes out to be 2.7@32hz with 32 square port area.

It is for a 12" type R

Box is now gonna be

28.5x16.5x14

If a sub has a mounting depth of 10.9" will i be able to top mount sub.

Also how do u change the way the port comes out using the re caculator?

How would yall face the subs and port?

If your port is 2x10 how do you get 32 square inches of area?

the caculator is saying

port length=25

square port diamiater is 6.1

port area is 30.

W 28.5

H 16.5

D 14

Screencap what you have in the calculator right now. Your not making any sense. Port length has nothing to do with port area. The only thing that factors into port area is your port WIDTH and your port HEIGHT.

port width is 2 and height is 15

for 30

ok that makes more sense, what is the net volume right now?

2.487@33.1

Do you now how to change the way the port comes out?

And how would you face the sub and port in a camaro hatch

You can't with the RE calculator. It's set as the port facing that direction, but you can put the sub wherever you want when you build the box. I did both port and sub facing up in my hatch.

I wouldn't really recommend building an enclosure entirely from the RE calc. I've heard it's not all that accurate. I've built one from it in the past, and it turned ok, but if you can actually take the time to design it yourself, you should. Or at least have one of the designers on here whip something up for you.

What dont you trust about re caculator any backers on that

Your cutout diameter is 10.9, not your mounting depth.

i just took 1 of moes 2.1@32hz and entered all of the dimensions in re calc it came out

2.6@28hz

and the cutouts aint the same.

You trust moes more then re?
