[QUOTE="SPLThunder, post: 268779, member: 545125"] The rule of thumb is based on the physics of the pressure that sound waves create. You dont want the head on pressure from a cone pushing directly into the port. It will not have distributed evenly inside the box. You are also more likely to get air moving in and out of the port Which we all know is not what a port is used for. Air inside the port is just suppose to resonate. In fact if you had a perfect port you shouldnt be able to feel and air move in or out at all. When a port is aimed in a different direction than the cone the pressure should have (i say should based on design) distributed itself through the whole box first which is why we make the boxes a certian size.
