New box...finally

I've finally decided to build a new box for my 12" comp vr's. This time I'm going ported because my current box doesn't seem to provide the very low bass tones. BTW, this is a 99 Accord.

I have many questions and politely ask for everyone's assistance

I used Winlsd Beta for my sealed enclosure and have been playing around with that program for my current box. I've measured my trunk (which has some weird dimensions) for the best fit, and the w and h dimension are 31" and 15 1/2", respectively. The depth I've estimated at 18", but I have some flexibility depending on how much of my trunk I want to surrender. The total of those dimensions gives me approximately 5 square ft. for the entire enclosure before considering the seperating baffle between the subs. I think 2.5 cu ft. sounds about right for these subs and the plot window looks good. I've selected a tuning point of 35 hz.

One question I have is that WinIsd says that my port should be 4 inches by 8 inches, but that doesn't give me the area of the port. What should the port dimensions be???

Does all this sound about right to everyone?

Thanks for your input!!!

A larger box is really all you need for the low frequency extention (going sealed wise). Ported should be easier to get low though.

WinISD doesn't really account for all that is needed. Bass Box Pro is something you need to really get what you are looking for. Just need to find someone with it :)
