Help with external port...

[chinobling831 10+ year member]

port area is gonna be pretty small to make the port length useable,,,a 12.56" port will be 15.88" long or so

**** thats long. so theres no way it would work?

not with a 30hz tuning,,a 28.26" port the same as a 6" round port would be 38" long.your gonna have to raise your tuning or build a bigger box

well whats a good frequency for two type r tens or one rockford p3? for daily listening. im open to suggestions. pvc ports? i dont think he wants to spend money on aero ports being that i built the box for free. low ballin. as for a bigger box thats the biggest he can do. its going in a topless regal with hydroz. so trunk space is very limited with all the pumps and batteries in there.

how long can he make his port?

 

[chinobling831 10+ year member]

he said we can add 2.5 inches to the depth bringing it to 15.5 inches deep. 2.5 cubes. hope that helps
