Posted February 17, 201411 yr My 12" ICON is coming in the mail today so I want to finalize a design before before having my buddy build it for me. What I want to know is if I have calculated everything correctly and will in fact end up with 2.3ft^3 at 32.5hz. Here's how I measured the port length. 19.2140 + 14.8723 + 1.375 = 35.312 The the12volt calculator says that this length gives me about 32.5hz. Did I design this correctly? Also, I just used the displacement listed on the product page which is .16. Does doing a double baffle affect this?Click here if you want to download my SketchUp design
February 19, 201411 yr Author When I remove the 45s from the box and line tool the shape of the interior I get 2.5. This gives me 2.34 when I subtract displacement. Mind telling me how you got that number? To reiterate on my original post and be more specific, I'd like to know if I measured the port length correctly also. Measuring the length from the middle of the port and adding half of the port length gives me 19.2140 + 14.8723 + 1.375 = 35.312. Is this right?
February 19, 201411 yr I was at work and got distracted before I got to look at the port length...sorry. I'll try to look at it again tomorrow if I can.
February 19, 201411 yr Why are you adding the 1.375" to the port length? And no, your addition is wrong. 19.214+14.7823+1.375=35.4613 not 35.312
February 19, 201411 yr Author 1.375 is half the width of the port. In my endless research, I've stumbled across threads on 'port end correction' where it's said that when a port runs along a wall it acts as though it's extending itself for an additional half of the port's width. Is this correct or what's the deal?As for the addition, you're correct. I must have mis-copied from my notes.
