noob port question

[mrbomb 10+ year member]

i am planning on putting the ports on the opposite side of the box from the subs (2 3" round ports), so the question is: if the ports are pretty much pointing at the back of the sub is there going to be any cancellation problems or anything?

ports would be on the bottom piece in this pic

Generally it is not a good idea to put subs and ports on opposite sides of an enclosure. It can work but generally involves more testing than what most people are willing to try.

If you have your heart set on it than give it a try. Than build a box with the ports on the same side and see what you like better.
