Port Area Question
Tuesday, May 30, 2006 3:10 PM
I am in the process of designing a new enclosure for my 2 12" woofers. The manufacturer calls for 80sq in. of port area for one woofer. I was wondering how I obtain the port area needed for 2 12s. I am looking for SPL more than SQ. The parameters for my woofers can be found here

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Double it. Run 2 4 inch ports at 20 inches each. Now one thing I noticed is they're not very efficient, and for an spl woofer, I would think they'd have either a higher power rating, or a better sensitivity.

So are you saying do a rectangular shape 4x20" port? And have two of them? Also the woofers are very underrated at 600WRMS.
