psst... you didn't put screws in for your port, and I'm guessing that's a dry fit, so no biggie.

my thoughts would be nearer the port on the front baffle, I could be completely wrong here though.

would the center of the front be fine or right next to the port? what do you guys prefer? in the box diagram there's sorta like a box space especially for the sub, 1.5cube, or it really doesnt matter?

i don't personally use screws, but if you do, then you really ought to brace the port the same way.
