Re: How do you calculate a PORT for a sub box
Are you familiar with math ? (not trying to be insulting) 1 ft^3 = 1728 in^3 (12X12X12)
So 1728 X .23 = 397 in^3 (cubic inches). Surface area of a circle is pi X r^2, so for a 4" pipe, 3.14 X 2^2 = 12.56 in^2. To get the desired length - 397 in^3 / 12.56 in^2 = 31.6 in (a little too long for that box). This is how you do the calculations. You can go to WinIsd and download the free application. Your sub may already be in it, if not remember to follow the directions TO THE LETTER on enetering the info. |

RE Audios box calculator can help you . All you have to do is take out the red numbers and type in what your specs for your box are. It will tell you what you need to know
