Here's a challenge for you..

Can someone try to figure out the volume and tuning of this box I just designed?

Two Type Rs will be going in it, specs for the speakers are here:

Here's the measurements/pics of the box:

(This is going to be built with .75" mdf)

Outside dimensions: 31.5 W x 15 H x 28.5 L

Thanks a million!

Edit: Just realized some of the numbers in pic 1 are hard to read.

The measurement of the right angle piece of the port (Under the 14 5/8) is 3 1/4"

The port length (From front of box to back port piece) is 25 1/4"

Length from back wall to right angle port piece is 2 1/2"

Everything else is pretty readable. Any questions just ask.

So let me understand this. You're asking us to find out what your design is? You should have a design before you model anything, otherwise, it isn't really a design...

People need to realize that 3D modeling is NOT box designing, it is for visualization purposes only.

Alright... is there a free way to design a 2-chamber ported box that you can choose what to tune it to?

Yes, but if I may assume by you making this thread, you probably wouldn't want to take the time to learn how to do it anyway.

Hah, I have all the time in the world. Is it a computer program or a series of equations/something of the like?

Try finding bass box pro. Great program I found mine for free online. I've tried a few others, but bbp works for me.

point being, getting software with a price tag from the internet for free = stealing, right?

Stealing, smealing. That isn't the real issue bass box pro is only as accurate as the person using it. The numbers it gives you are NOT actual numbers, and they are not accurate for anything but sealed boxes. You need to use math to design a box, not a few mouse clicks. Otherwise, you aren't really designing.
