Port placement?

[bowtiefan]

How important is it to have the ports on the same panel as the subs?Is it a must or can I put them where I want them?This will be my first attempt at building a custom ported box so any help will be greatly appreciated....

You should be fine, as long as you don't put them on the bottom...

hey, jmac......on my box, the ports are in the top back corner using the walls of the box as part of the walls for the port......is that ok

So your sub fires towards the back of the car and your port fires upwards ?

they have some of those boxes sitting out at best buy...

no, i made mine......it's for a truck
the subs fire forward...and the ports fire up

there was a book (loudspeaker cookbook?) that said that a port can be placed on any side of the enclosure... but multiple ports should be placed on the same plane
