ok im buy a new subwoofer and im building another box. the box will fit the power acoustik
MOFO (i know alot of people dont like PA but dont bother me about it im happy with them, keep it about the box). anywas it need 2 ports that are 3inch by 6.75 long. my question in figuring out the box size is do i incorporate the port volume in the cu ft, or do i leave it out? same with the sub do i figure out the subwoofers volume(aproximate) and detract it from the boxes cubic foot? sorry if it make no sense.

this is what i have so far its at 2.375 cu ft with the sub and ports deducted. its an image from my student version of solidworks2007(the best 3d cad system ever, also 08 has way better image things)

WHOA the port is going to displace inside your box. as is the displacement of the woofer. you will need to subtract the port and woofer displacement from your total volume in order to get a correct box volume. if you dont you are going to run a box that is far smaller in volume for the port you have and it is going to raise tuning and sound like booty hole.
thats what i did and it was an approx. 2.375 cu ft which im sure i did the sub a bit big so i think ill be good thanks though its always good to know stuff. do oyu think it will be fine if its a little smaller then the targeted volume???

how small are you talking? one way is to play it and find out lol
the target was 2.4 and what i came up with is about 2.375

with that much of adifference, it shoulnt throw your tuning off by more than around 5 hertz, you wont be able to notice the difference in 5 hetz.
98z24, lowered 2", aem intake, cat-back striaght pipes!, cop ligths in the front and rear, 18" liquid metal's, primer black, tint, full audio and video.
not even. the ports are what are gonna change the tuning and a .025 cube difference isnt gonna make any difference whatsoever

maybe I was exagerating a bit when I said 5 hertz, but it would make a difference, the point is, the difference it would make, you would never be able to notice.

^thats what i was gonna suggest..... i arn 2 circle ports for my 15s but it was casue i was limited on space and couldnt get a slot port tuned high enough
you will be happier with a slot port, or if u insist on a circle port invest in some aero ports
FDP 62MM TB, FFP Performance Chip, FFP Underdrive Pully, WAI, Hi Flow Cat, 2.5" Catback, Functional Ram Air Hood, Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch
ok, I like the design of my box is there any way to calculate the size of the slot port for the box designed above ill post dimensions and such in a minute if anyone wants to help.

Use 3/4" MDF, not particle board, and definitely not 3/8" anything.
whats wrong with 3/8? too thin? actually i think i ment to say 5/8
click sig for my car audio videos
Yes, it's too thin...it could possibly resonate causing distortion or cancellation issues. 3/4" isn't more than a couple bucks more than 5/8" either. Almost all custom boxes use 3/4" and some use 1". I always feel that when it comes to building a box, it's better safe than sorry...it really sucks having to rebuild a box after your just finished making it, trust me.
mmmmmm 1". my dad built a box for his 15 inch l7 with 1" mdf. awesome theft resistor cuz the box is heavy as @!#$ now.
