[QUOTE="Trixter, post: 472290, member: 542668"] If the port is too small you will get port distortion. Almost like a whistle. You want a port big enough so that the air moves freely. Yet you want it small enough to still provide enough back pressure so the sub doesn't reach over excursion. I have heard people say that a good rule to fallow is to have a much port area as you have cone area. I don't believe that either. There's no way a single 10" sub should have a port of 78sq", unless it's in a really large box for comp. only, even then that's a lot. There is a formula to figure out min. port area but it kinda complex. If you really want it I could post it. [/QUOTE]
