Enough port width/area for a 2008 RE SE12? Pic inside.

Optimal spec box calls for 2.0ft^3 at 33Hz, and the dimensions cover that. Is the port wide/big enough for the SE 12? It is 2.5'' wide with a total 32.25'' in length. Just want to make sure before I go use up the last of my mdf on this box.

12''x2.5''=30in^2 of port. I think that should be plenty for one 12'' in that box.

So its good to go? I don't really need a thumper(wouldn't mind one though), I am looking for decent response through the low and mid bass. Thats what this sub and box is good for, right? I am going to throw about 600-800rms at 2 ohms to it if anyone was wondering.

Is good? I just want the port to be wide enough. 2.5'' typical for this type of sub?

its not necessarily only the width you want to take into account

general rule of thumb (which i violate all the time) tells you that you ned 12-16 square inches or port for every cubic foot

going from what you said, 2 cubes with 30 square inches of port falls right in that category

sounds good to me.
