    hi all im after some help .. i want to build a slot box incorporating 3x12" 800w mt1207 mutant subs

    i know there not the best subs but its what i have for the moment

    total box size max tuned to 32/35hz if possible
    BASE=L,1270/W,510MM OR 50"/20"
    FRONT=L,1270/W,445 OR 50"/17,1/4"
    TOP=L,1270/W,370 OR 50/14,1/4"
    REAR ANGLE 71*
    REAR PEICE L,1270/W,455 OR 50"/18"
    this is the external size!!!!

    i work in mm normally but looking at forum i c you use inches

    i can increase the height by 50mm with a 50mm step in from a strut brace to the top rear of the box . im no good at math so calculating volume etc to get port length is beyond me

    USING 18MM MDF

    iv built a couple boxes before using the 12"/12" box for a 12" sub

    but i want to make this a slot box can any one shine any light my way

    used google sketch up to quickly show you what i want http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=69c45bfee52d420b547c7b1f139b9019

    i know it needs baffles and ignore the two cut outs on the top .i was thinking of making it with 5 subs originally but the other 2 i have aren't matching so three it is .

    like i say any help or if some one could assist using sketch up that would be so awesome .. and ill even tag ya name and post pics of it in action here for others to c how this forum is awesome !!!!!!

    OK we need to recalculate something, 4.91 cu meters is around 173 cu ft.

    Are you sure its not 4.91 cu ft???? If it is I can work with that. Well I need to study for a Graduate Research test.

    If you use a port that has a cross sectional area of 40 sq in, then the port needs to be 13 to 14-inches long

    So a 40 sq in port can
    be 1 inch tall by 40 inches long
    or 1.5 inches tall by 26.67 inches long
    or 2 inches tall by 20 inches long
    or 3 inches tall by 13.3 inches long
    etc.
