Enclosure Design

I suppose this is probably a noob question, but when finding the square footage for an enclosure does the port need to be added with displacement? for example. the DC level 4 12s need 1.5^3 ft for the sub, it has a displacement of .18^3 ft. do I need to find the cubic feet for the port then add that to the overall size of the box?

Yes. For your example, you'd want to see 1.5^3 ft. internal volume AFTER subtracting the displacement of the sub, port and any bracing.

Roger that. Thank you!
