    so still new to the whole box fabrication deal... so if a driver calls for two 4" port and making a dual box. that would be 4 4" ports. now to change that to a slot port do I add all of that area together eg.(Pi x r(squared) by 4)

    also have a minimum port size formula. this look correct?

    dv>39.37*(Fb*vd)^0.5

    dv=required diam of port
    Fb=tuning freq
    vd=X-Max in meters * sd

    and for port length
    Lv=[1.463x10^7*R^2 / Fb^2*vb]-1.463R
    where
    Lv=port length
    Fb=tunning freq
    vb=volume in inches
    R=radius

    for multiple ports devide enclosure volume by the number of ports. then use that as vb.

    for a square port
    R= sqrt of a/Pi
    where a is the area of square port. is this the formula you would use for a slotted port? or is a slotted port different? I know it would be a rectangle rather than square but would this give the same area? rather than 8x8 square port would a 16x4 be the same?

    these formulas look good?

    forumals are good...as long as port area and length are the same...it doesn't matter what the shape is really. Unless its a really long skinny port.
