We need to see what you mean by "3 inch next to the port" to be able to tell you anything.

here they are... cause the box will be in a suv of a friend of mine, and he carries with some tools and stuff, just to have less area to care of.. and we were thinking of that.. port noise.. o sound waves.. not recomended cause... something

A kerf inside.... whats the idea in that. I've never done one but thought it was suppose to be on the outside to help in the airflow. Just askin.

its like kerf port, but not as it is

but yes i have listened less port noise than just start port without it, and 45 corners yes they help a lot(than 90 degrees), more sq and spl

and about have to be outside, yes but in both sides help somehow (more work and difficult, for me at least, to do it). thats why pvc ports have flare in both sides

Should be NO port noise whether you do a kerf or not if the port is the proper size....

i mean that

i have heard more accurate bass with 45 corners and kerf where port starts, less turbulence on air flow (last one just about what i have read in some forums)
