bigger port = less port noise

because i have a small trunk, and 4 2" would be shorter then 2 4", whats your problem? Its a legitimate question.

also, does it matter which way they face? could the ports fire out the side of the box? This is my first box

2 4" would be shorter than 4 2" as far as port length at the same tuning,

actually the two 4" ports would have to be about twice as long

And the last guy is correct. Try it yourself......

4 2" ports has the same port area as a single 4" port. The dual 4" ports would have to be longer because there is twice as much port area.

yeah i know this, but im trying to figure out port nois, i'll prolly end up going with 2 4" ports or 1 6" port with the subs firing up in my hatchback, we shall see...
