I have a ported sub box i would like to no what the calculation is to figure out what the port is in hz is the box is 2.5sq.ft the port is 2.5*16.5*14.25
What is the calculation to fig. what the  Port Frequency is of a box?
Port tube length calculations for round ports: 
input = Radius of Port (R), tuning frequency in Hz (fb), Volume of the box in cubic inches (Vb), (L) will be the resulting length of tube. 
 L = (1.463 X 10^7 X R^2 / (fb^2) X Vb) - 1.463 X R
  
For square vents, where the area of the vent, V, is in square inches, and the peak volume displacement of the cone, D, is in cubic inches:
V %26gt;= 0.02032 * fb * D
To reduce port noise, round off any sharp edges.
or you can just use this http://www.ajdesigner.com/phpvent/subwoo...
A good read http://www.trueaudio.com/st_ventq.htm
Reply:I got about 48 Hz using your dimensions.  The calculation is 
Fb = .159 sqrt((A*(1.84x10^8))/(V*(L+.823*sqrt(A))...
A = Cross sectional area of port
V = Volume of box 
L = Length of port
48Hz is very high for a tuning frequency.  Having a high tuning frequency means that you will have an enclosure that is more for loudness or SPL.  If you have too high a tuning frequency you can damage your sub(s).  
Good Luck!!!
