If you want to send an unrestricted column of air through a six inch tube, compressing into a one inch entry before sending down that tube is going to affect the velocity of the column of air.The whole idea of aero ports and flared/rounded end ports of any kind is to reduce turbulence that restricts the smooth flow of air in and out of the vent. When you restrict that air inside the box, you introduce turbulence as well.Some might say that they've built boxes with the port closer than one width to the back wall of the box and they sound fine. That may be true, but the only way to reference "fine" is to build the identical box with the correct spacing for the port and then do a side by side comparison... with an RTA.</blockquote>
