Is There a Limit to Length of Slot Port?

[robert J]

I was wondering if a slot port has limitations other than the physical dimensions of the box?

In this case, the port needs to run to the back and across the width to the other side, leaving a couple inches before contacting the side panel of course.

It does but what you have is well within the limits

Multiple bends can also hurt output but it will still work it just could be better with a different port

Your port looks good

I assume this is for a 12?

You could always shrink port area slightly and it will get shorter. Or even use a round or aero port and that will help as well

You want as few bends as possible with a slot port.

I have read that AeroPorts can be a smaller area ratio/ft, even down to 5 or 6sqin.

Can you also extend the port outside the box a few inches to gain length?

Yes, it is for a 12" driver.

there's a certain point where your airspace will get so diminished to where you actually start raising tuning instead of lowering, thats an extreme case but its always better to raise airspace over adding necessary port length and bends.
