Question

why would you have more than one port ?

if you have two ports, how do you find out how long they are ?

why does your port get longer when you go from a 3" to 4"?

have you done a search? if not, DO ONE. you will learn alot.

you dont NEED more than 1 port, some people use more than one to reduce port noise. to find out the lenght there are many calculations you have to do. or you can go to: http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=31
that will give you a pretty good idea of what you got to do. the length gets larger going from 3-4 because you gain surface area going to the 4".

Mine has dual ports so that I can plug one when required...

Both open, ~50hz for competition.

One plugged, ~33hz for daily driving.

No, no tests...

My buddy owns LineX Calgary South. He was at my shop one day and noticed my box in the back of my van, which was just plain MDF, no resin at all... "Wow... that's impressive. You should let me spray that."

"Sure..... do it for a case o' beer?"

"Yep, sure!"

It improved SQ and SPL out of the box a lot... How much, I dunno. But it was very noticeable.
