[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8854683, member: 689267"] You don’t tune a box to play at the frequency you think you want, you tune the box to play optimally for the driver you are using. - the driver you use determines the tuning frequency of the enclosure. Prefab boxes are often tuned between 40 and 50Hz to [I]almost [/I]work in a variety of applications but may or may not be optimal to your driver, again, the driver specifications determin the tuning frequency. [LIST] [*]What is the exact model of woofer you are using? [*]What are the outside dimensions of the box? [*]Are the sides squared flush or recessed from any of the other panels (usually just the side panels will see recessed panels if applicable). [*]If recessed, how deep is the recess? [*]What is the thickness of the wood used? [*]Does it have a port and if yes is it a slot (square or rectangle) port or a round port?" [*]If yes to either, what is the diameter (round) of the port or the cross section (square or rectangle) i.e 2"x8",4"x 16"etc. [*]What is the lenth of the port? [*]Is there more than one port? [*]Provide this info and if [I]IF[/I] can find the specs for the woofer, I can model it in BASS Box Pro and advise accordingly. [/LIST] Keep in mind if you have a slot port, it's difficult to change these as they are usually part of the structural interior of the enclosure and are much more difficult to add ot subtract length to reach a desired frequency (shortening is almost impossible without destroying the box). Round ports, much easier! [/QUOTE]
