Ported, Professional Series

Skar Audio Subwoofer Boxes and Enclosures

Ported enclosures cut for Skar Audio subwoofers, CNC-machined in Tullahoma, Tennessee.

Proline X Performance Optimized down fire sealed dual 10 inch subwoofer enclosure for the Kicker Solo-Baric L7T

Ported, Professional Series

Skar Audio drivers are built to be driven hard, and a ported cabinet is what lets them do it. The enclosures here are Professional Series builds with the port cut and tuned as part of the design rather than added to a sealed box afterwards.

CNC-machined in Tullahoma, Tennessee, to the parameters Skar publishes for the driver each cabinet names. More Skar enclosures are being added.

Ported Skar Audio enclosures in Professional Series construction, with the port tuned for the driver each cabinet was cut for. More being added.

Cut, assembled and finished in Tullahoma, Tennessee, to the parameters Skar Audio publishes for each driver.

Driver parameters are taken from Skar Audio published data. We build enclosures to those figures; we do not currently stock Skar Audio drivers and make no claim to represent the brand.

Sealed or Ported for a Skar Driver

These cabinets are ported on purpose. This is the comparison worth reading if you are weighing the two alignments for the same driver.

General characteristics of the two alignments for the same driver and power.

Ported, Because These Drivers Are Built For It

A ported enclosure uses the air in the port as a second radiator. Around the tuning frequency the port does much of the work, which buys output a sealed box of the same size cannot reach. Below tuning the port unloads the cone and the roll-off turns steep.

That trade suits a driver with the excursion and the power handling to use it, which is where Skar sits. The cost is cabinet volume: a ported box needs more airspace than a sealed one for the same driver, because the port has to fit inside it and the alignment needs the room.

How to Choose

Confirm you have the space

Measure the opening before anything else. Ported needs more cabinet than sealed for the same driver and there is no way around that.

Match the model, not the size

The cabinet is cut to one Skar driver's published parameters. Two twelve inch drivers from different lines want different volumes and different tuning.

Read the tuning, not just the volume

Two cabinets of the same net volume tuned five hertz apart are different products. The tuning frequency is the number that tells you how the box will sound.

Then source the driver

We do not currently stock Skar Audio subwoofers, so these cabinets are cut for a driver you already own or buy elsewhere.

Space, Tuning and the Driver

Airspace decides whether ported is possible

This is the constraint that rules ported in or out. The cabinet has to hold the net volume the alignment needs plus the port itself. If your space is tight, a sealed cabinet in that space will outperform a ported one that had to be compromised to fit.

Then the tuning frequency

Lower tuning extends deeper and gives up midbass impact; higher tuning does the reverse. It is set by the port rather than chosen afterwards, and each listing states what its cabinet is tuned to.

Then confirm the driver

Ported alignments are less forgiving of a mismatched driver than sealed ones. The cabinet is cut to a specific Skar model's published figures, so match the model number rather than the nominal size.

The Port Is Tuned, Not Just Cut

Port length and cross-sectional area together set the tuning frequency, and that frequency is chosen for the driver the cabinet was built for. Port area is sized for the excursion the driver is rated to, which is why a properly designed port looks large next to a generic one.

We Cut the Box, You Source the Driver

We do not currently stock Skar Audio subwoofers. These cabinets are built to Skar's published figures for a driver you already own or buy elsewhere. Nothing about the fit depends on where the driver came from.

Professional Series Construction

These are Professional Series cabinets, which is the heavier end of what we build: more baffle, more internal bracing, and the port sized for the excursion the driver is rated to rather than to a convenient number.

Port area matters as much as port length. A port too small for the excursion you are asking for will make noise at volume, and that is a design problem rather than something you tune out later.

Heavier build

Professional Series

The Skar range

More baffle and more internal bracing than our standard driver-matched build, which a ported alignment rewards more than a sealed one does.

Tuned as designed

Port sizing

Stated per cabinet

Length and area are cut together to produce a specific tuning frequency, with the area sized for the driver's rated excursion rather than a convenient number.

Skar Audio Subwoofer Box Questions

Which Skar Audio subwoofers do these boxes fit?

Each cabinet is cut to the published parameters of a specific Skar Audio model, named on its product page. Match the model number rather than the nominal driver size, because two Skar twelves from different lines want different net volumes and different port tuning.

Do you sell Skar Audio subwoofers?

Not at the moment. We build the enclosure, cut to the figures Skar publishes, and you source the driver. If you already own the subwoofer, that is exactly what these cabinets are for.

Why ported rather than sealed?

Because these drivers are built for it. A ported alignment gives more output around the tuning frequency than a sealed box of the same size, which suits a driver with the excursion and power handling to use it. The trade is a larger cabinet and a steeper roll-off below tuning.

What tuning frequency are these cut to?

Each cabinet is tuned as part of its design and the listing states the frequency. Lower tuning extends deeper and gives up midbass punch; higher tuning hits harder in the midbass and gives up extension. Pick the cabinet whose tuning suits what you listen to.

Can I change the port to retune it?

We do not recommend it. Port length and area are cut to produce a specific tuning for a specific driver, and changing either gives you a different enclosure with an alignment nobody designed. If you need different tuning, start from a cabinet built for it.

Are you adding more Skar enclosures?

Yes. More Skar cabinets are being added. Everything is CNC-cut to order in Tullahoma, Tennessee, so if the size or configuration you need is not listed yet, contact us with the model and we will tell you whether we can cut it.
