Hello, excellent video! Congrats. Could you please elaborate few words on 1st port resonance in case of 1 fullrange speaker in BR enclosure? How does it impact? I am looking at 110l BR with Visaton BG20 but the 1st post resonance tend to be 3kHz with ąprox 2" port. Will it be audible or such high resonance is negligible ?
Thank you for this video Toids! I started design on a 2-way with HiVi B4N and a Dayton tweeter using winisd (0.7.0.950) and with the manufacture's specs. I was able to successfully complete the design (ported with 1x2". 9.7cm long, flared tube). However, the resulting volume to me seems to be a bit too much. What puzzles me more is when I create a similar project using the 3" version of the same driver (B4N), the resulting volume is significantly larger than he design for the 4" enclosure considering the design is fo a smaller driver. Could this be due to a fault in the software?
@@keithmarlowe5569 it does. When you change the length you change the tuning frequency. So you just need to adjust the tuning frequency to the port length you want. Then see his it affects everything.
this program isnt too accurate in air velocity. i have a 8 inch sub in a 1 cf box 30 hz, 2 inch aeroport and there is absolutely no chuffing in real life but when I put it in WinISD, it shows my air velocity for 30hz at 160 m/s and about 50 m/s for 40hz LOL. with that being said, would an 11.25" area slot port be okay for a single 8?
Hi 123Toid! I really like your videos, they are incredibly helpful in designing subwoofer boxes. Though I do have a particular question about this video. At 14:17 you are saying that to know the internal volume of the box, we need to subtract the port volume from the box volume, but right after that you said that the internal volume is 0.062 cubic feet plus the port volume. So do we need to subtract the port volume or add it together?
Great question! I can see why that would be confusing. I'll have to try to convey this differently from here on. The total box volume will need to be whatever WinISD comes up with (0.62 in this case) + port volume + any internal bracing. So if your theoretical port is .05 cubic feet and your theorectical internal bracing is .05 cubic feet, then your total volume of that box should be (0.62+.05+.05) 0.72 cubic feet. What I meant by subtracting, is when you subtract .05 cubic feet from your port and another .05 cubic feet for your bracing, your box volume should equal the original WinISD box volume of 0.62 cubic feet. I hope this helps.
At 8:00, when you increase to two ports and it says 18.73" for the vent length, does that mean each port has to be 18.73", or that the length for each port is VentLength / Number?
Yes. Each port has to be a length of 18.73." THat is why it can be tricky to design around multiple ports. As you increase the number or size of the port, the each port gets longer.
Ah crud lol ok. The ports can presumable have a fair few twists right? I presume aswell that if I select "Two free ends", it means neither end of the port of has any flange or flare?
Lol, I know it can be hard to come up with the right size port. The ports can have some twists in them. However, if you are going with round ports (aka pvc pipe), make sure you go with slow bend elbows and not sharp 90's. This will allow the air to flow freely. Also when measuring the elbow length, measure the middle of the elbow, not the inside or outside. Two free ends does presume no flare. However, a flare will always reduce port noise, so I always add one if I can. The best way to do this, is to add a roundover to the outside of the subwoofer enclosure. That means that the outside of the box would become part of the length of the port. Here's a good look at one I did: th-cam.com/video/gMUI2t7_svM/w-d-xo.htmlm10s
Hello! Is there a way to measure a port? I pulled out the port from an Z-5500 system and I'd like to know the dimensions. I could use the port for a car setup, but I'd pretty much know the dimentions of the port before I do anything.
What I didn't get is what to do when the speakers are too large? If you want to vent an Eminence Alpha 15 for example, it requires an impossible cabinet volume and/or vent lenght.
I'm not sure why that is. Try the version you find in their Facebook page. That is the one I currently use and have not had any problems. facebook.com/WinISD/
When calculating the port length, does WinISD expect that the port be inside of the box or outside? Because obviously having a port on the inside would reduce the effective volume of the box?
50LightSabersInAPack That's a great question! WinISD will tell you the cubic feet needed. You have to manually figure out how much space your port will take and add it to the total cubic feet of the box.
I have the current winisd beta and it lacks a lot of the features you are showing. I used a version of winisd about 5 yrs ago and I remember having these extra functions. Is there a version available for free that provides the same features as you utilize in this video?
@@Toid Thank you so much. I am trying to build a speaker with 2 hivi b4n drivers and peerless bc25sc06-8 in MTM configuration.

hello friend can you help me with the measurements for a closed box for media with the B&C 10MD26 8Ω speaker since tutorials in Spanish I cannot find and I cannot understand with what little they say
If you put the dimensions of the driver in winISD, it will tell you how much volume it will take up. The bracing you just have to calculate yourself or with a program like SketchUp. One of the easier ways is to use Days V2. This won't give you the volume, but it will tell you the final tuning frequency, which will help if you're in the ballpark of the volume.
@@Toid so it won't be a problem for the driver to over throw ? The software wants me to use 1.9 but I find 3.0 hits the lows like I want and doesnt really affect the rest of the freq curve
@@zorhis1996 for that, you'd need to check the excursion tabs. there's too many variables to be able to tell you if it will be a problem or not. some of the things keep an eye on are cone excursion, tuning frequency, box size, port size, port velocity and first port resonance.

How does volume works in this program? e.g. If I put in an int. box vol of .65ft3 and after figure out the length and area of port let's say it come up to a vol of 0.011ft3. Does this mean the actual int vol of my box is .661ft3(.65+.011) or the vol the same .65 where the speaker enclosure is now .639ft3 and the port is .011ft3, which adds back up to .65ft3.
Great Question. If you have come up with a response that you like at .661 cubic feet, you will want your internal volume to match that. This means, you will need to add the volume that the port will take up, as well as the driver. So your box would be .661+.011 (port) + the internal volume of the driver. Win ISD, can actually figure out the space your driver will take up. When you are inputing or editing a driver, go to the last tab labeled "dimensions" insert the known dimensions to come up with the "dvol" this will give you the cubic feet the driver will actually take up.

Hi. I’ve watched this video a few times, But can’t figure out where the F3 the graph plots and the tuning freq that I can change interact with each other. What is the tuning freq that can be changed and the f3 have to do with one another. My 4” Dayton speaker combo tuning will come up with 64 hz, amd my f3 will be 55 for the 4” drivers. Problem is my box is to big. So I change the volume and it of course changes my graph to a lesser quality. If I change the tuning freq to high say 85, graph looks better, and my f3 is now 70 hz. But if I built a box, what am I doing physically with the tuning hz at the box? Feels like I shouldn’t be able to change the tuning freq field, as it gives me a false graph. Thanks.
1975oldschool a speaker is tuned based off box size and port length based off the speakers TS parameters. So there's a lot of those small speakers that take huge boxes in order to get tuned really low. Sometimes you have to compromise by having a smaller box with a higher tuning frequency
If you do not want chuffing, you will want to keep the port velocity at or under 17 m/s or 56 f/s. You can always get port velocity to meet those requirements, it just depends on the length of your port and or tuning frequency. It is possible you are tuning it too low. If you find the port way too long, then try PR's. That's one of the main reasons people use PR's. In builds where the port is way too long to be realistic. Having said this, if you don't mind chuffing, you can go higher, I wouldn't but you can. You can also use a flared port to decrease chuffing, however the same size port will now be longer. Unfortunately WinISD will not take this into account, so you'd have to trial and error it on your own.
im at about 109ft/s with 10" w6 in a 2.5 cu ft box tuned to 39hz with a 6in diameter port 15.56in long.. theres not really good information on "good" curves and "bad" curves associated with this program
It could be. If you tune your speaker to say 40hz (fb), you then have to look at your graph and look for the F3 line. Then see where at what frequency your graph crosses the line. That is now your f3. In this case I showed it around 3:40 in the video. The F3 is around 48hz. with the tuning frequency of 59.11

Having said this, if you don't mind chuffing, you can go higher, I wouldn't but you can. You can also use a flared port to decrease chuffing, however the same size port will now be longer. Unfortunately WinISD will not take this into account, so you'd have to trial and error it on your own.
im at about 109ft/s with 10" w6 in a 2.5 cu ft box tuned to 39hz with a 6in diameter port 15.56in long.. theres not really good information on "good" curves and "bad" curves associated with this program
try a slot port
idk if i have the building skills for that lol
try a slot port. 109 is definitely not good, lol
so yeah i think 125.987 ft/s at 30.23 hz is not good
F3 =FB???????
mohammad alsammak FB is the tuning frequency of the box. The F3 is where the speaker plays 3db down
thank you very much.but i don't understand that point if i have fb 40hz then f3 is 35 hz is that right?
It could be. If you tune your speaker to say 40hz (fb), you then have to look at your graph and look for the F3 line. Then see where at what frequency your graph crosses the line. That is now your f3. In this case I showed it around 3:40 in the video. The F3 is around 48hz. with the tuning frequency of 59.11
thank you very much
