I am running a Re audio Sxx 15 v2, the xmax is 24mm (this thing moves a lot of air) my concerns are port size. The box is 4.8 cubic feet after displacement. It is a customs built box. H-20 W-18 D-30 I've spent hours researching about port sizes shapes etc, and so I bought 2 xscorpion "5inch" ports. I was planning to tune around 38 Hz's and have about 9 sq per foot which is efficient with a flared port. I installed the ports when realized that yes the flare is 5 inches but the PVC is only 4 inches in diameter which makes my port area tiny and makes it about 5 sq^2 per foot I don't get port noise but I can tell the sub would like to move more air because when I roll down the windows it's gets a lot louder... Do you think creating a slotted port with .70 cubic feet would be louder and help with the pressure. I've recalculated the ports tuning with the 4 inch diameter and it's says the box is tuned at 31-33hz I'm wanting to play loud so what's y'all's suggestions on a port size.. The top measures 18 inches wide (port must fire up due to vehicle) please help. This sub should be louder

You could try to make the port longer, but there might be other reasons with the box won't extend lower, or even the sub. You'd have to reverse...
