    Which port design should I use?

    Both have the same port length and tuning, it's just the design that differs...you can post why if you feel like it

    Kind of what I was thinking...plus it gets the internal port entrance farther from the sub.

    Is it going to be a problem that the internal entrance for the port is so close to that other wall? The port width is 2.5" and the end of the port is 6.14" from the right wall.

    As long as it's farther than the width of the port from the wall you'll be fine.

    I would put a small 45 in the corner opposite the port.

    A is gross. It screams failure.

    Then I'd have to refigure stuff because of the displacement

    I would place the sub right next to the external opening of the port too.

    Re: Which port design should I use?

    I did my box in my car with a design like A and it worked out well for me because it caused the tuning to be a little lower than projected with the friction in the port, etc.

    It's about 24 hz or so tuning after everything is calculated and I enjoy the lows I get out of it. It's preference really.
