Slot porting!

[Audiophile]

Yup...as the title implies, I'm thinking about slot porting my 2ft^3 truck box. Problem is, I've never built a slot port before, and frankly I'm a bit confused.

Is it just a slot cut in the top of the box? Or does the slot go all the way down through the inside of the box?

Would it be easier just to circle port it? HELP!!

Thanks for your time everyone/anyone!!!

A slot port. Depth is determined by what you want it tuned to. Most slot ports are 3" wide and 13" high.

hmm well, here's a PDF of my owner's manual--from what I gathered from this document, they recommend 4" wide by 12.26" long. How deep should I go?

Box Dimensions:
6 1/2 D
36" L
17 or 18" high (dont remember)

EDIT: I lied...it won't let me upload the PDF, even after I zipped it...*sighs* if anyone really wants to see it I guess email me...

you can use bcae1's calculator to figure port length if ya have the box volume already and you know the WxL dimensions too.. which ya seem to

Assuming 18 inches high....

tuned to 35hz you need a port 32 1/2" deep... have fun.

Make your slot port 3"x9" and it only needs to be 15.6" deep.

Just round port it. A 4" ID port only needs to be 8.5" deep.

Oh yeah...and I lied:

5 1/2" D
36" W
17" H

I kind of like the idea of a slot port

Just 1 round port though?? 4" Diameter by 8.5" length eh? fine fine, unless someone can tell me how to make the slot port I'll make a damn round one...probably easier anyway.

Hey justin.. do you have a picture of that box (or any box.. not a drawing) with a slot port?

trying to imagine how im going to need to build mine.. the drawings that came with my sub kinda suck.
