I am looking to possibly replace my NHT Classic 12 Subwoofer with something of my own making. I am thinking of using the Dayton Reference HF 12" as the subwoofer for the application. I would really like to go with a ported design and I think that a box 17"w, 18"h, and 22"d should work but I would like to know how many and how large of ports should go in the box.
I had looked on a website that did the calculations and it said that 2 - 3" ports, both 13.75 inches long would do it but I wanted some other opinions or calculations to verify/discredit this calculation. If this is wrong, what would you guys recommend?
I am looking at using either the O Audio 300 watt BASH amp or the BASH 300 watt amp on PE to power the driver. This amp has been knocked for air leaks in a sealed application but since I am looking at ported I thought it would be ok.
Below are links to the equipment I was looking at:
Dayton Reference HF 12 - http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=295-464
BASH 300 Watt Amp - http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=300-750
O Audio 300 Watt BASH Amp - http://www.oaudio.com/300W_SUBAMP.html
This should be enough power for this application right? Also, any other design tips would be appreciated.
One other thing, if my calculations were off and this driver won't work with this setup please let me know.
