How to Make L-Ported Subwoofer Box - DIY

Yet the easiest and quickest subwoofer box to make, the L-ported subwoofer enclosure. I bet you see a lot of DIY subwoofer boxes being showcased on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and even here on KZbin made out of L-ported or some may other call it transmission or T-Lined boxes. That is because it is quick and easy to build, everything is using the same material from baffle to enclosure to port out of MDF sheet!
Let's dive into the fun part right away!
- First part is the unboxing of a brand new Pioneer TS-W311D4 12" Champion Series Subwoofer with Dual 4 Ohm Voice Coil.
- I used the RE Audio L-Ported speaker box calculator on their website to compute the right box for the subwoofer. Here's the link reaudio.com/box.php. You need to activate and enable Adobe Flash Player on your browser in order to use the subwoofer box calculator.
- TS-W311D4 has a factory free-air resonance of 43Hz, but I tuned beyond the Fs and tuned down to 31Hz in this ported enclosure.
- Resulting box volume is 2.001 cubic feet equivalent to the 31Hz tuning including the total port displacement.
- Layout the calculated values on Tinkercad to get a graphic overview. Here's the link www.tinkercad.com/things/19pH...
- Roundover router bit to round the edges inside the port to increase good air flow.
- Then the rest is the whole nine yards of subwoofer box building. So sit back and relax while having a cold beverage and some snacks to watch this satisfying DIY subwoofer video.
- Carpeted with charcoal dark speaker carpet. Used a rubber contact cement to adhere the material into the box.
- Most favorite part: The assembly. Tinned the exposed copper part of a 12 gauge speaker wire to ensure coolness and connectivity.
- Wired the champion series pioneer subwoofer into parallel to get a 2 Ohms final impedance.
- Bolted the subwoofer using a 4mm Allen Hex bolts and 4 prong Tee nuts under it.
- Showcase the final product like a champion!
Now it is your turn to build this very easy and very quick slotted subwoofer box. I hope you enjoy this little tutorial and I hope you hit that like button and please consider SUBSCRIBING to my channel. THANK YOU!

Does the shape of the subwoofer box have an impact? I wanted to make it so it fits behind the rear wheel/strut tower to take up less space.

[@chrclmnky]

Hello Captain, no. Any shape will do. Just calculate the volume, size, port area, to get an accurate box. Use Bass Box Pro 6.

sir proccess of buy this box.... I need this box

[@RTX_Labs_Productions]

Quite a high tuning, i suggest 20hz up for better bass and sql

[@chrclmnky]

20hz tuning is expensive to setup. First you need a subwoofer with a resonance of at least 25Hz, and that only available on super expensive brands like Sundown, DD, B2 or JL Audio.

I feel after entering the parameters provided (The layout on Tinkercad) I feel the Subwoofer might be tuned closer to 35 - 37Hz. But the enclosure looks beautiful! (I could be wrong, I use WinISD)

In the Re box calculator, why does it say 2 inch for port width and then in the box port software i see it as 4 inches??

[@chrclmnky]

Hello Amrika, good question. Box-port Design is only a circle port so I converted the square perimeter into equivalent circle perimeter. That is why I need to use RE Audio's calculator for the port.

[@paquesepas6696]

Great video just wondering if you ever confirmed if this box is indeed 31hz because I seen in another message a commenter said it might be higher. I'm looking for a box that is 2 cubes at 32 to 34hz. Thanks.
