I know there are alot of other variables involved but...

What on average when building a slot port for your enclosure is the minimum width a port can be before you start to get far too much port noise/turbulence?

Thanx Si

This is going to depend on a number of variables, a few of them being: power being used, box size, number and size of woofers, desired tuning ......

With that amount of power and a woofer of that caliber i would not make the port any less than 40 square inches. If you can, i think 75 square inches or bigger would be ideal...

i did a box for a high output 15 tuned to 26hz with only 30 square inches of port and there was some port noise and i thought a lot more port area should have been used.

hope this helps [Smile]
