[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8406980, member: 650438"] Just looking for good discussions here. A definitive answer would be nice for once though. So you know the minimum, but how do you know whats optimal and when to stop going too far? Do you just forget about those port area per cubic feet ratios completely or do you just match how many cubic feet with how much power you are running along with the frequency response you are going for and keep the same minimum(or higher) port area? Does port area really impact sound quality? AKA too much = sloppy and narrow bandwidth, too little = port compression, poor low end performance etc.. [USER=614752]@hispls[/USER] [USER=576029]@keep_hope_alive[/USER] [USER=618111]@TaylorFade[/USER] Sometimes with some woofers on Winisd, they require unreasonable amounts of port area just to keep the M/s under 30 sometimes. Sometimes they turn out to be over 20+ sq inches of port area per cubic foot in their max recommended box size, which is fking trippy. [/QUOTE]
