pencil and paper, my friend, leaves no questions.

Lv = (14630000 x R^2) / (Fb^2 x Vb) - 1.463 x R

Lv = length of vent

Fb = freq. of box

Vb = volume of box (in cu inches)

R = radius of port

(if using a slot or square port, then R = sq.rt. (port area / 3.14)

when doing this formula you need to do it twice. first do it to get the port length. now figure the port's displacement including all materials of construction. subtract this number from the original Vb and re-calculate.
