[QUOTE="swimfreak26, post: 689418, member: 544365"] I had different experience....had two earlier boxes for this sub before I built my current one. All boxes were 2.2cubes (or very near) tuned to 32ish Hz, but the first had 15in^2 and the second, 19in^2 of port area. Both had a ton of noise and didn't produce near the output that I get now with 32in^2. I've heard of many others getting port noise as well with small ports, but I guess the worst thing that happens is that you get some noise and have to build a new port, which is fairly easy when you're dealing with round ports. I would make the box a little bigger than you need, and put in some wood pieces to take up space, then if you need a larger port, just take out the extra wood and use a bigger port, while maintaining the same volume.
