there is a science to a port
i has to be a certain depth and area
lets say you want 32hz tuning in a 7 cu ft box if you eanted a port like mine it would need to have 105sq inches(35"x3") and i think it was 2 or so inches deep
no your box cant be too big, and you need to figure out a tuning(28hz is more for deep bass better sound quality, start going up but i wouldnt go past 37hz for daily, higher than that start gets into competing)
i need the specs on the box as in how many cu ft and deminsions and the tuningyou want and i can get the exact port deminsions
one wa is you can use pvc pipe from homedepot/lowes, or do it like mine, or make one out of wood and do it that way

www.linearteam.org download WinISD Beta it will help you tune the ports you want...
Though it's a little advanced for the average person that just wants to build a box.

ok here's the specs. not exactly to scale (don't bust on my mad paint skillz). the sub is a 10w3v2.The angled part faces the front of the truck like in the drawing. it will be sitting on my drivers side and i want the port to face the middle, left side of box, i.e., the opposite side of the drawing. thanks for your help guys. i built a sealed box way back in the day in high school, i have no idea on the science of porting.

Well, first of all, do you know what the volume of the box is?? Sure I could figure it out... but it would thinking....lol. I'm a lazy ***.
Second, I'm sure you want it to be reasonaly loud, but not too loud that you can't hear the music....
Oh, yeah and how much power are you planning for it?? RMS, not peak...

ok, i just read all this, and im still confued on how to figure out how much space is needed, and how to figure out how much space your box has.
Im building a box for a 10 inch sub and im worried i have not made it big enough.
So far here is what i have.
its 15 inches wide. its a 13x13x18.5ish box. looks like this
I didnt want to make another thread about it, but im hoping some x-pierenced sub guys will take a look in here.
help please.

If you make it Wharton this week end I could give you an idea of what to do. I have a good bit of knowledge building custom fiber glass box, door panels, kick panels for speeker. I had two 10 Stuffed be hided the seat of a regular cab 94 Toyota pickup. I built totally custom interior door panel, and Kick panels for it.

Evan,
To determine the volume of your box, measure the hieght of the inside of the box and multiply it by the front-to-back measurement then multiply it by the width of the box-- All inside measurements of course. Then multiply the entire number by 1/2 or divide it by 2. then divide that number by 1728 then that's the exact cubic feet, besides the airspace that the subwoofer takes up.
Pretty much any size sealed box will work. Go to www.linearteam.com and download WinISD Beta. It's free and it's a pretty decent program. Just make sure when you plug the numbers in, that the Qtc is not higher than 0.9 becuase that's the limit.
When you finish building the box, go to Walmart and buy a bag of pillow stuffing that could crush your whole family for like $2.00 or so. That helps "trick" the sub into "thinking" the box is bigger.
Anything else you need, pm me.
