Ended up with a ported box. How'd that happen.
Yea, well anyway I ported my box. It's 22inch by 14inch by 15.5inch and now has a 2x9x23inch port in it.
SOUNDS LIKE ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cut in the front went bad because I didnt have my workbench to cut on. (sister confiscated it for a party ) So the front looks bad but the port is A-OK. I forgot to put glue on the port though. Plus I kinda eye-balled screwing the port on and used way too many screws. I was going to cover it with some cover stuff but ohh well.
Anyway, I measured incorecctly and the port is about 4mm offset from the hole. I've talked to some people and they have told me that it really shouldnt make a different.
I've lost decibal levels. My entire mid-range is gone. I knew I was taking a chance but now that I'm on this side of the fence I'm pissed I ever messed with it. :rofl: Now, I have to either make a new face and get right deminsions for another port or make an entirely new box. I got the demensions from someone who has a box which is about 2.2ft^3. I havent figured what mine comes out too but I think it's 2.5 last time I did the math. Anyway, he got his port deminsions from the guy who does this stuff http://www.acoustic-visions.com)www.acoustic-visions.com and said he got a lot more SQ from the sub. He was previously running a 1.5ft^3 sealed box.
Anyway, I raised the subsonic filter to 30 and no changes. Tomarrow I am going to turn it back to 20 (all the way down to the left) and do the same for the xover knob marked LPF and then turn it up just a tad so its still under half.
Anyway, Don't laught at the front cut. The port is clean just that cut went bad. You can blame my sister for that.

BTW the port makes a right angle inside the box and extends another 13 inches.
