Which Port Calculator is Reliable?

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and I am not sure if this question has been answered before.

I am trying to get a more in depth understanding of box calculations and I am learning a lot. However something really confuses me.

My info:

Vehicle : 2003 Acura 3.2 CLS

Location in the vehicle: Trunk

Space available (Length x Width x Height): Plenty

Subwoofer make and model: Fosgate P34D12

Subwoofer Size: 12"?

Number of Subwoofers: 1

Type of Port (Kerfed, Slot, Aero, etc.):

What type of music do you like?:

Is your goal SPL or Everyday Music?: Everyday music but playing with SPL

Tuning Freq (Hz): 32

Volume : 1.79

Questions: I keep getting different port lengths for my box with the following information. Slot port, 2X14.5 tuned to 32HZ and I am lost as to why and why they are so different.

From Subwoofer Enclosure Calculators, Parallel, Series, Port Length and Volume with that info I get 38 inches

From Car Audio - PORT Size Calculations and Formulas for WOOFER and Subwoofer BOXES it gives me 31 inches

and from Subwoofer Vent Equations Formulas Calculator - Length Port

I am getting 24 inches.

I would love to do the math on paper myself so any formulas would be nice. But also why are the results sooo different? Is there a formulas sticky on here?

I appreciate any help given.

You could try to make the port longer, but there might be other reasons with the box won't extend lower, or even the sub. You'd have to reverse...
