Oh these are the specs of my subs

*Power Handling: 800 watts RMS *VCdia: 3" *Le: 2.5 mH *Nominal impedance: 4 ohms per coil *Re: 3.0 ohms *Frequency response: 20-300 Hz. *Magnet weight: 192 oz. *Fs: 34 Hz *SPL: 90 dB 2.83V/1m *Vas: 1.2 cu. ft. *Qms: 5.33 *Qes: .39 *Qts: .36 *Xmax: 18 mm *Dimensions: Overall Diameter: 12-1/2", Cutout Diameter: 11", Mounting Depth: 6-3/4", Magnet Diameter: 8", Magnet Height: 3-1/8

the box is

 2.56 ft^3 per chamber

- .15 ft^3 port displacement

- .16 ft^3 driver displacement

= 2.25 ft^3 net internal volume

if I tuned to 36hz  the port will be

13" X 1 1/4" X 11 9/16"

SO i dont know if 36hz if a good HZ to port my box

the  amp is 1100 W RMS at 1 ohm

Thanks for the Info.

but in your opinion 36HZ will a be a good frequenzy ??

Kove lists their port and enclosure specs here.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Yes i know, but i dont have the model number i just know they are the argamedon but dont have model number, Thats why i was asking if 36hz was a good HZ to tunning my box

   It might be helpful if you told us what you are looking to get from these subs. What kind of music do you listen to? Are you going to be utilizing a subsonic filter? If so, how many db/octave is it? Etc., etc.....
I'm just a regular guy. I don't know why all the fuss about me....

Yes I will use a subzonic filter. to the lower HZ which is think it is 20hz

 the amp is the menphis 1 ohm,,i cant remember the model

i listen to rap reggae, that kind of music..

From subwoofer DIY website, here are the formulas for calculating tuning frequency (Fb) in a ported enclosure.

To determine the optimum box size and tuning for a ported enclosure system, you will need to know the following Theile/Small parameters for the driver:

Vas = Equivalent air compliance (litres) Qts = total Q of the driver at its resonant frequency Fs = resonance frequency of the driver (Hz) Dv = internal diameter of port (cm)

then,

Vb = 20*Qts^3.3*Vas Fb = (Vas/Vb)^0.31*Fs F3 = (Vas/Vb)^0.44*Fs dBpeak = 20*LOG(Qts*(Vas/Vb)^0.3/0.4)

where,

Vb = net box volume (litres) Fb = box resonant frequency (Hz) F3 = -3dB frequency (Hz) dBpeak = maximum peak or dip in system response

    You might want to consider running your subsonic at more like 40hz. That's just my opinion. You've got some really good speakers there. Kudos to you for putting forth the effort to make sure you get the most out of them.
