A bass-reflex port is tuned by its length to boost low frequencies.

The math behind it

L = (23562.5 x d^2) / (tuning^2 x volume) - 0.732 x d, with diameter in cm and volume in litres.

Worked Example

A 30 L box tuned to 40 Hz with a 7 cm port needs about 21 cm of port.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the port is too long?

Use a larger diameter or multiple ports to keep it manageable.
