I am building a ported box for a 2000 lincoln ls. I am not excactly sure what size to make the port. i am wanting to use a slot type port. In the manual it calls to be tuned to 33hz. my measurements of the box are front height 14" .rear height 10", width 20", and depth 17.5". in the calculator that comes to 1.79 ft^3. on the manual it calls for 1.7ft^3 gross internal volume. I believe this is a 2007 model sub. this is the first box i have built. completely new to the game. If anyone has ported slot dimension ideas, and suggestions on the placement they will be greatly appreciated.  Also my amp is a hifonics 1200 watt 1 channel amp(bxi1206d). {/TD}{/TR}{TR UNABLE="on" hb_tag="1"}{TD style="FONT-SIZE: 1pt" height=1 UNABLE="on"}{DIV id=hotbar_promo}{/DIV}{/TD}{/TR}{/T}{/TABLE}

I've had great results with between 2.0-3.0 cu ft for the Type R's. Seems like they like bigger enclosures...I've had one in a 1.5 cu ft and it was alright. What kind of bass output are you aiming for??

ok. i got it fixed.... i am looking for any suggestions on port sizes for my box. i know the manuual to the swr-1222d type-r 12 list a tuning of 33hz. Maybe someone knows if this sounds good or if i should maybe go with something different. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated..2000 lincoln ls

Well what vehicle is this going in and what are your musical preferences. Also what type of bass response are you wanting??

its going in a 2000 lincoln ls. i listen to mostly rap loud. i just want a good deep clean bass.2000 lincoln ls

I like the Type R in around 2.4 cu ft ported between 30-35Hz.

THANKS. Do you prefer a slot port or a round port?2000 lincoln ls
