Default Porting my type E's need some help guys

Well i want to port my type E's but i need some help. The alpine website only gives specs for a sealed box which is .8 to 1.7. What should I put for the airspace on a ported aplication? Thanks guys

Ported boxes are usually bigger. But if Alpine doesn't have a recommendation that might mean they aren't meant for a ported application. If you want to try it anyways...I do something like atleast 1.7 cubic feet.

My best bet would be to donwload WinISD Pro from HERE and input the speakers specs. This will allow you to see the performance of the box, the box size, and the port length and diameter.

If anything...just sound bad.

My best recommendation would be to find out first hand from someone who has already done it. Get onto a car audio forum like www.caraudio.com or www.sounddomain.com and make a thread asking if anyone has your subs ported and how they sound.
