[QUOTE="Sundownaudio01, post: 8669797, member: 676286"] I used a Windows program for the box calculations. I could have used multiple smaller ports but they would’ve had to be much longer. It calculated for the 34hz tune 22 square inches of port space if I remember right. 5” port was right on the spot just can’t find any port kits long enough and can’t find 5” pvc at any store I’m near. With it being a trunk box the port noise is less audible to me in the cab of the car. I still want it minimal and I’ll have enough port area with the slot port I just heard that round ports have least port noise. With the larger box higher tune I know the larger sqft of the box will increase movement and therefore output of the box. With a 40hz tune or high tune in general I’d get too much of an output spike and it would likely drown out my front components. I don’t think it would sound bad necessarily I just don’t want so much output that I sacrifice a lot of my SQ or system balance. And with subs I mean a cheap >$100 sub would definitely sound worse the two are comparable in price point though and seem to me to sound very very similar with my current system. [/QUOTE]
