5 cubes, 35 hz, 8" round, it looks like it'll need to be 16" long

I'm not sure, I haven't used 8" ports before

no it will be a routered 8"port. the hole will be 8"

also this will be for 4 10's if that matters.

Personally I like a little extra port. but if my brain is working at all that would be maybe a little more or less than 2 6 inch ports. I would say go for it and make sure you make the box as turbulence free on the inside

you mean like 45's in each corner?

A little on the small side as it only gives you 10^2 per cube. If an SPL box I'd go with more port area or make flares for the ends...

hmm two 6" ports would be like 8 more sq inches of port. but 1 8" would be much easier.
