    The specs you have listed above is closer to 2.2 cu ft. But thats OK, slightly larger always performs better. If you just want to use a single 4-inch round port (PVC) then you will need a port around 10-inches long.

    If you want to follow the example I used in this thread
    http://www.caraudiotalk.com/audio-forum/showthread.php?t=7031
    Then use a port that is 12-1/2-inches long by 1-1/2-inches wide. This port would need to be 16-inches long

    I believe thats the easiest way. Also the sound is always really good.
