300 Watts RMS
1000 Watts Peak
18”
100 oz. Magnet

I need to build a ported enclosure by tomorrow!!

I need to know:
What does my internal volume need to be?
Dimensions of the port?
Best shape?

@pikipupiba I did basically that for a smaller 12” enclosure – went overkill at first with a port, and later shrank it down and took the port off – worked great both ways. lots of MDF and caulking lol.
