[QUOTE="chawski, post: 7537947, member: 616379"] Hey guys, looking to build my first ported box and have a few questions. Sub in mind is a 10" Kenwood kfc-something model sub. Manufacturer recommends 1.6cuft with a 5"L x 3.5"Dia port for 35hz tuning. Running off a kenwood amp, i think around 800ish watt. I mainly listen to rock, country, a little rap here and there. Not looking for any competition type building, just filling in the low end. Box is going in a civic trunk. I plan on just making a simple rectangle box, as shallow as possible while using as much width as needed bw the wheel wells (I think I have approx 30ish inches) Few questions: 1) is it safe going for a slightly lower tuning, say 32ish or should I stick with the 35 as suggested by kenwood. 2) is there any appreciable difference bw slot port and a cylinder, other than less wood? I only have a few days over thanksgiving break so looking to keep it simple Thanks for any input! [/QUOTE]
