[QUOTE="pro-rabbit, post: 7828261, member: 551878"] Anyway, I would suggest trying around 55-60 in2 with around a 45-48 tuning for starters. While DC subs may like certain things, in your application it may be different. I have had builds for SPL were we almost doubled what I thought was the prefect port area...then some were it was nearly half... both set records haha.... so it's hard to say some times what will actually work and no amount of a math/physics will get you right the first time no matter how much we all crunch numbers. Typically if you are just testing...I would say build some enclosures from some cheap wood that will hold up to a bit of abuse. then when you find something that is working...rebuild it from another material. Typically saves money that way. Down side is some times it's hard to know if you are going the right way when you alter the material because even that can affect the SPL level....even when it is the exact same enclosure. [/QUOTE]
