Learn How to Calculate Subwoofer Port Tuning Frequency - Tutorial

Definition

Tuning of a subwoofer vent tuning box is established mainly by the grouping of port area, port length, and net volume of the subwoofer box.

Example

A subwoofer contains 2 vents of length 5 cm and diameter of 8 cm. The volume of box is 200 cm³ and it produces end correction factor of 4. Calculate the tuning frequency (F) for the subwoofer box?

Given,

Vent diameter (D) = 8 cm Vent length (L) = 5cm End correction factor (K) = 4 Volume of box (V) = 200 Number of vents (N) = 2

To Find,

Tuning Frequency (F)

Solution

Tuning Frequency (F)= √(23562.5 x D² x N) / (V x (L + KD)) = √(23562.5 x 8² x 2) / (200 x 0.001 x (5 + (4 x 8))) = √(23562.5 x 64 x 2) / (200 x 0.001 x (5 + 32)) = √3016000 / 7.4 = √407567.568 = 638.41 Hz
