[QUOTE="Mr Cabinetry, post: 4510480, member: 571490"] Here's your enclosure shown as thru view's. The subwoofer is a 8w3v3 done to scale in sketch up to give you a better idea of exactly why a round port can not work for the space involved. This side & top view thru view shows the subwoofer ( to dimensional scale ) mounted. As can be seen, even though the top depth would allow for a 2" dia port ( up firing ), there's just not enough space inside to allow the port to come down from the top, make a turn with an elbow and continue across to the side ( either direction ) and make another turn with an elbow to go downward without the subwoofer motor being in the way. The subwoofer could be moved further down on the front baffle to gain lenght before the first elbow turn clearing the top of the subwoofer. After that turn, the only place to the rest of the port to go would be back in toward the recessed center section. That could cause a problem to a degree of choking the port restricting the air flow within that confined area of the enclosure. However, given your only using a 2" port, air flow given the cone to excursion displacement of the subwoofer at rated power would most likely make the concern a non issue.
