I want to turn my sealed box into a ported box with a port tube from crutchfield or ebay. I have 2 10" subs, don't know my box volume tho. I want to know where is the best place to put the tube, and how long the port should be to make it hit the hardest.

It's not that simple, you generally can't just stick a port into a sealed enclosure. Ported enclosures are usually much larger than sealed for the same woofers. You need to know what the specs on your woofers are and calculate what the proper enclosure parameters are and then construct the enclosure to those specs. ------------- Support the12volt.com

yes, unless your box is very large to begin with. we need to know what the model # on your subs are, and you need to figure out how big your box is. basic external measurments would be a start
