[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 5435810, member: 584344"] It's 4 AM here on the east coast. So you might want to relax. To answer you question, shape does matter. Wider ports allow for more air to be released at a given time. The port acts as a passive radiator (google it, I don't feel like explaining). Bigger the area, more air it can move. That's not to say that just taking out one side is justifiable... after a certain point, it becomes too much. But there's also too less. There's a formula somewhere (I programmed a program (go figure that's what you program) that figures out all of that and gives me a read-out of the minimum for everything is.) that tells you the minimum port cross-section has to be. Straight vs L vs folded ports is all based on how long your port length needs to be. The most ideal is straight, L after that, and folded coming in last due to the amount of turns and port velocity lost. If you want, I can design a box for you. I understand you want to learn, and I can teach you. But you don't want your box to sound like *** as a learning experience. [/QUOTE]
