In both scenarios it is 3.5" round. Make it 14" long and shorten it if does not sound to your liking. If it is a new sub, let it break in before modifying that port length.
You can always use an elbow. BTW, what pipe are you using that is 3.5"?

I was going to look at what is available online (pvc or speaker ports)... geez not much for a 3.5in in that length...
Why would manufacturer suggest a port size you can't purchase a port for
K going to have to see what a smaller port or split into 2 ports will be
I figured as much. Maybe I should start fabricating odd sized tubing and selling it on eBay.Why would manufacturer suggest a port size you can't purchase a port for
Jmo but that cxx8 is probably going to disappoint, and when the manual recommends .53ft3 with 3.5" round tuned 52hz don't expect low-lows for sure. I'd probably just go with a 3" round at the same length myself. The smaller port area and slightly increased airspace may just tune a bit under 50hz. I'd side port it then make sure the port output is positioned in vehicle where it can load correctly.

Thx, ill look at the smaller ports. Yes I'm not expecting this 8in to rattle much just fill in some bass from the 6x8s and 6.25 door speakers (went with lower rms rating given no amp for speakers, think the kenwood 6x8s are 35w rms and pioneer 6.25 are 30 or 40) all on a 4x50w deck. Sounds super flat right now when you turn it up
Its going into the back of a c4 corvette. It was this or a bass tube but already had an amp and this combo is more powerful and cheaper vs the bass tubes. Both sub and amp are rated 600w, sub is 300w rms and amp bridged is 250w rms.

Can that sub be returned? I feel you can do better..
For example right now on clearance you can get a 10" Illusion audio sub for 59.99 and throw in .70 sealed box and it will out perform a 8" boss sub tuned to 52hz

I've never heard them but have seen some talk about them. From what I gather not a great deal at the OG price of around 400.00 but at the closeout price it's a steal.
I thought about grabbing some for my spare ride.
It's gotta be safer bet than hoping a retail $50 sub will last or sound good
$52 to be exact. NVX VSW8. It sounds ok.
