Hello,
Yesterday I purchased a driver, amp, and battery for a portable sub build. This is my first time designing a sub and I was hoping I could get some assistance. My appreciation of subs has grown after learning all the subtleties that effect the out put.
The driver is by kicker and it gives me lots of specs for building the right sized box. F3 is given but I'm not sure what it's relation is to Fb, the tuning frequency. If f3 is 25hz do I calculate for a tuning frequency of 25hz?
Another question is about the port itself. Is there much of a difference between using a slot vs. a circle port?
Once I get the interior volume (which kicker provides), and port size (which I need to understand tuning frequency for), I will start building. Are there any other things I should be considering to build a solid sub?
This is not for a car system so I'm not concerned too much about size. Most resources I have been reading tend to be concerned about fitting the sub in a car for the type of Port being used.
Thank you for your time and knowledge,
It is very much appreciated,
Rex
