[QUOTE="joeldirt, post: 773530, member: 558163"] Even when you know, you never know.... you know? No one has all the answers, every one only holds thier own opinion. I always use round ports. I never used a slot port. Slot ports are suposed to be good to reduce port noise. I never have any problems with port noise in the round ports, because I always round over the ends. I also wrap the ports with 3/4" weather strip to help take away vibrations in the port. The round port requires PVC obviously, so if you have MDF laying arround scrap, you could probably jsut use that without having to buy PVC. it is in the trunk so asthetics aint a big issue, unless you plan on showing off your work. I think round ports look nicer thats why I always use round ones. As far as difference between the two.... as long as there isnt anything miscalculated, or assembled poorly, There really is no difference. Both things I guess slot ports may help with reinforcing the box if you think about it, that is a plus, But I flush mount the internal ends of the ports into a suport or internal brace so I can round over the edges cleanly and give suport in the box, while also reducing port vibrations. SO both have their plusses. I guess the disadvantage in my own opinion in slotted boxes is the way they look. I for some reason don't like them that much. Disadvantage of a round port may give more port noise. key word "may". take a few extra steps and it won't be noticable at all, or very little. [/QUOTE]
