but the last "red" number is the port length... and so your saying that the port width is 3.5" and the port length is 2"........ ahhhh nvm i see now... the port length... and the second port length... lol... i see it now... ok. so as long as that works... and i guess the extra 4" depth won't do a whole lot... other then make the box heaveyer haha.

The extra 4" will make a HUGE difference in sound. Your actual port length is close to 22" (21.75). Keeping in mind this is down the middle of the port. Are they P1,P2, or P3's?

Cool, the calculator gives you a cut list on the bottom.

The whole site is called the "RE enclosure calculator" if you look at STEP 2 it gives a complete cut list.

Make an enclosure out of 3/4" MDF with your max dimensions. That should give you around 3.6 cubic feet. Then make a 4" aeroport 6.25" in length to get a tuning around 36hz. Should give you around 3.4 cubic feet after all displacements (1.7 cubes per woofer)

Totally agree. Why waste equipment? I don't see a problem with running a common chamber for both subs, especially considering the situation. I'm going to assume they are either P1's or P2's. Either way they can be wired down to 2 Ohms final load, and running an Aeroport will make the most of this situation and will simplify the install. The 2 Ohm setup is going to make the most of the equipment, and by running both subs, you don't have a paperwieght just because you want a new box
