[QUOTE="aeroportspwn, post: 6862602, member: 622019"] Just follow this pic from re box calculator I have already done all the hard part dealing with minimum recommended vent area and subtracting the sub displacement. So use the box volume in the figure below which is 3.597 then subtract your sub displacement if you want to check it. I already calculated it on my own so basically when you subtract your sub displacement it will slightly change your box tune and box volume. So just add .3 to the 35.173 box tune in the figure below and that will be about your real tune. Some people say RE box calculator is not accurate but it is about 99.9% accurate the user just needs to double check the figures with another box calc if needed then subtract the sub displacements. So in simple terms just follow the port length in the diagram and you will get about a 35.5-35.9hz tune.

The 15x2.3 you had on your first post is only 34.5 sq in. Generally 12-16 sq in per cubic foot of box is the normal guideline for subs.
