Here is my problem. Im building a custom box to replace my center console for my 2001 regular cab. I have the box mainly built already, just waiting for the sub to arrive to finish the project. Anyways the total airspace of the box is 1.3638 cubic feet. THe sub I bought is a 10 inch Rockford Fostgate HE2 RFP4210. I want to port my box in the front. Take a look at the picture an you will better understand. http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=340525 A friend told me with the airspace I have, a 3 inch diameter pipe that is 12 inchs long will be required to port my box correctly. I have only 9 inchs of space to fit a 10 inch sub so I cant place the port on the wall with the sub, supposedly where the port reaches its optimium performance. I want to put it on the opposite side of the sub, but I heard that it really isnt best if it is put there. CAN SOMEONE WHO HAS THE KNOWLEDGE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ABOUT THE PORT JOB??? Thanks

From what I rememebr about ports is that the median length of the prt (down the center of the port) has to measure 12", it can be any shape and even stick out 12" from the side of the box if you wish.

But yes the other forum is the best place not on the V8 board!!!!

Fosgate puts out a decent amount of info around designing/building enclosures for their woofers, including porting details for vented boxes.
I'd recommend downloading the manual for your specific driver and the RFtech:Enclosre paper, they'll give you the correct way to set up this subwoofer system. Then ask just questions on the RFtech website, or call them directly- RF tech support is known for providing valuable tips.
I just put together an enclosure for an RFD2210 and used the above docs as reference, I'm very happy with the results.
Good luck
