[QUOTE="hispls, post: 6895425, member: 614752"] It really depends on the amount of power you plan to use also. Some fantastic home speakers use very small ports in large boxes. It works because you have low power, low x-max Port turbulence has to do with velocity of air in the port. The more air you're trying to move in it the more you're likely to run into port noise. All that being said, it seems to be the conventional wisdom (backed up to a large degree by measurable repeatable results) that large ports are louder. The tradeoff of course is the length will often becom impractical particularly in small boxes with low tuning. [/QUOTE]
