According to my calculations, it is tuned to about 38 Hz. But of course since I had NO INFO at all to plug into my calculator, I really doubt that it gave an accurate answer.

It would help it you gave measurements to the box and port. ported sub box given,what is it tuned to? -- posted image.

If the box is 16 inches tall. The inside board of the port can not be 16 inches too. Measure to the end of the port board that is nearest the speaker.

Ok so i pluged in the 28W x 14H x 16D with 3/4 MDF. That gave me 2.78 Cubic foot. I then subtracted the port area. 3W x 12.5H x 14D that was .30 cubic foot from the airspace. Then i subtracted the displacement of the 12 in sub according to the DD web site is 0.1946 cubic foot from that giving me. 2.29 cubic foot for the total internal airspace rounding to the nearest hundreth. Then using the slot port calculator on the site. Im getting a FB of 48Hz ='s the 14 inch port length. This seems quite high for me. Does anyone have a box builder program to compair the numbers with mine?

Im coming up with 48 Hz tune. Granted this is assuming there is not internal bracing that would cut down the airspace any further than what i have figured.

port is 14 inches deep...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I just pluged in the spec off my L7 box and the numbers are not coming out correct. I used full airspace and every combo of port and driver displacement Added and subtracted to see if i could match it to what the engineers at Kicker gave me. The numbers are not matching up. I know my port is FB of 33hz and it peaks at 48Hz. Which is what the Engineer said, was graphed at and i have done a lot of testing on TL. My loudest tone is at 48hz just like they say. But when pluggin into the slot port calculator It is showing the FB higher. Which leads me to belive the port calculator is off.
