[QUOTE="Rawr-DQ, post: 6853395, member: 558585"] This is merely to help illustrate a concept and is not accurate. [IMG]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p254/Totalnewbie007/bswave.jpg[/IMG] Basically the Port will produce a wave that is 90/180 degrees or so ( I cant remember, it may be different) out of phase with the front wave of your speaker. When that wave combines with the front wave it may be off axis with it, producing a stronger or weaker wave depending on when it combines. If you combine the wave 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, full wave (and in between), you can gain output of the speaker. full being the highest efficiency. To calculate this you need to be able to calculate the speed of sound and then measure the length the port wave will travel until it meets the front wave of the speaker. Honestly, I dont know who even does this. Your best bet is to make a box and move it untill it sounds louder or quieter. The moisture and temperature of the air affects the speed of sound, and I only tried to calculate this to design a Transmission line, which also factors in the FS of the speaker and I don't fully understand the underlying physics of these concepts. Go get the loudspeaker design cookbook and take a read of that, I had a copy but lost it. [/QUOTE]
