[QUOTE="evo2k3, post: 268990, member: 546246"] Not to start a battle....but I have a bit of a physics background as well. Though your point about even distrobution is well taken, I disagree that a port is not intended to move air. With your physics background I am sure you understand that the port is simply a open ended tube with a fixed length. Given the fixed demension, you also understand that only a limited number a frequencies are able to resonate at that length (more than one because of first, second third harmonics /resonate frequencies. Since we know that only a few out of the hundreds of frequencies have a potential to resonate, I find it hard to belive that soooo many people would see increases in spl over a range of frequencies if the port was not also intended to move air through it. Thought i need bit more time to think about it, most manufacteres suggest the port be firing paralell with the driver. Now if you point about even distrobution is correct (and it very well may be), this person could fix that by simply bending the port inside the box, correct? Please correct me if I made a mistake in my logic, again not trying start a battle, just having a civl discution. [/QUOTE]
