Bandpass Question - Click HERE for Original Thread
jwatts
I am having a difficult time designing a bandpass box because the ports are to long and won’t fit inside the enclosure. My question is this. If I can preserve the front and back enclosure volume ratios can I simple multiply both by a factor and make them larger. The enclosure is a 4th order bandpass.

Example.

Assume was originally calculated to be.

Vf=.3ft^3
Vr=.5ft^3

Can I simply multiply both Vf and Vr by 3 and not change my passband, ripple, and Fb for the enclosure.

To make a vent shorter, you could make it narrower. Still, try to keep it as wide as possible. A really long vent can cause resonance problems anyway.

Have you considered mounting the vent outside the box?

My current application will not allow me to vent outside of the enclosure.

No. Use a PR.

Is there any possibility of bending the ports inside the enclosure?If you use plasitc pipe the purchase of 90 degree joints etc is v.easy.

Does anybody have any experience using a PR in this type of application? If so does perform as well as a port.
