Hello Dave,
Thanks for your reply, but the matter isn't to stuff a port, the matter is in the relationship between trying different stuffings in the box and trying different port's lenghts.
Because this two works influence the bass response, but differently and for the stuffing the mid-frequencys too, my question is to know the best way to make this.
In example, it is aknowledged that to place too much stuffing in the box (of course without stoping the port), kills a great part of the resonance of the air inside the box and therefore reduces bass level. But to lengthen the port reduces bass level too.
In the other way, less stuffing enhances bass level, but cuting the port shorter, too.
My question is to know the logical process to surely get good bass, without mistake.
This problem could seem evident for you and experimented diy speaker guys, but for a novice, your reply could help.
I'll make you a confidence: I'm a little experimented in stuffing diy speakers and my 1801, I know my room's characteristics and my electronics too: this last two components influence bass responce before others. But my friend Raoul, soon 1801 kit orderer is a novice; I'll help him but don't know his listening room's and electronic's characteritics, so thanks for helping us.
Best regards.
Hubert
