I have been calculating boxes using torres and I wondered if torres factored in end correction when bending a port so I did a search on google. Reading through his post on SMD, I searched end correction within the post and found this.
Torres - "when doing a slot port...just check the slot port box in the program and it will automatically figure in half of the port height for you into the tuning //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif make sure to use *port height* as the distance from the port wall to the box wall. otherwise it will use a much longer number for end correction. so your port *height* would need to be 3". then enter in the port width. then enter 16" for port length. check the 'slot port' check box and it'll automatically add 1.5" to the port length inside the calculations
"
This was the 09 version which has the slot port box option. When searching torres in google images, I see a lot of people setting their port height 1.5 inches from their box height. According to torres, the port height should be the distance from the back wall to the back of the port.
So a box that is 12x22x12 and a port width of 2 inches with a 23 inch port.....the port height would not be entered in as 10.5, it should be 2 inches, correct? Same as the width? If that's the case, then all my boxes are being tuned super low, which doesn't make sense cuz they arent hitting extreme lows.
