What should my port area be?
To keep port velocities right around 30 m/sec you can multiply the square root of the power density by . 605 and that will give you how many sq in per cubic foot of box volume you need. So in my example of a 500 watts per cube enclosure that means you need 13.5 sq in per cube.
How do you calculate round port displacement?
To determine the displaced volume of the port, we simply multiply the cross-sectional area by the internal length of the port (which we have already determined as 12” in this example.) Displaced Volume = 9.61625 X 12 = 115.395 cu.in.
How does Port length affect sound?
Longer port = lower tuning. Shorter port = higher tuning. What tuning to use depends on several factors (speaker, box, what kind of response curve you’re going for, etc.) and it significantly changes the sound.
Can a port be too long?
It’s too big when it doesn’t fit in your box. You can have it outside the box. It is too big when it doesn’t fit in your room.
Can a subwoofer port be too big?
Remember, there is such a thing as too big. As the size of the enclosure increases, the mechanical limits of the woofer will be easier to reach. If the box is too small (by a reasonable amount) add power. It will help the driver overcome the lack of volume present to still belt out that bass!
How does port length affect sound?
How big is a port for chemo?
1. What is a port, and why would you want one? A port is a plastic disc (roughly the size of a U.S. quarter or Canadian loonie) that is placed underneath your skin, usually above your breast or below the collarbone, and is used to intravenously feed medication directly into a large vein and into the heart.
How do you calculate woofer displacement?
You’ll usually see displacement and volume figures as a number of cubic feet. If the displacement specs for your sub is in cubic inches, it’s an easy conversion. Just divide the number of cubic inches by 1728.
What happens if port is too long?
Longer port = lower tuning. Shorter port = higher tuning.
