Hello, I've got a pair of custom speakers, Fostex 206E's in a ported cabinet. The port currently is just a three inch hole in the front baffle which is 1 3/4" thick.
I designed the cabinet with spec's from fostex to have a 40 liter volume.

I was just thinking of taking the speakers another level and to experiment with inserting a port tube maybe 3" to 6" in the hole. I was just wondering if there is an easy way to determine which measurement would work best other than the obvious of just listening to the bass.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Pete

I would suggest buying one of these and tuning the cabinet with it:
