Port Volume

Hey, I'm about to start building my first box and could use a little help with the specs. This box is for a 15" Kicker Solo-Baric L7 and is going to be roughly 4.5 cubic feet, excluding the port. The thing is I am not entirely sure what my port volume should be. I have established that 4" diameter pipe is a good choice, but I'm not sure about the length or total volume. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

what is the resonant frequency (aka tuning frequency) you are wanting your port to achieve?

as mentioned, the12volt has this fine calculator to offer:

Did you fail grade 4 math or something?
