so i have a sdx-15 and will be doing an end table build. i had originally planned on doing a sealed box due to the simplicity, my size requirements, and my living environment, but have since decided to go ported for several reasons. i will be reusing a relatively weak plate amp (dayton 240) until my finances allow for an upgrade (im a poor college kid) so i figured i would get more boom for my buck from 240 watts ported versus 240 watts sealed. also, i originally thought my space limitations of about 5.5 cf were too small for ported, but after seeing several others go ported with similar volumes i have decided to do so also.
i finished my finals last week and am ready to begin my project in my off week before summer classes start, but being a mac user, it is hard for me to model my box for tuning purposes. as this will be used as an end table, my box is designed to be the same height and depth as the couch, but the width is not set in stone, although i would like to keep it around 24 inches. the external measurements will most likely be 20hx24wx30d. i tried adapting the port length/volume from fishtanks build, but i was not confident that this would give me the best results so i decided its better to ask for help. so my main question is: what size slot port is required for my box to achieve a tuning of approx 18-20 hz?
construction is set to begin ASAP, the only thing that might cause things to change would be if i can get my hands on a marble slab left over from the construction of a house which i would like to use as a table top, in which case i might have to change some dimensions. otherwise i will be getting corian cut to fit this box. thanks in advance for your help!
