Port placement?

[bowtiefan 10+ year member]

How important is it to have the ports on the same panel as the subs?Is it a must or can I put them where I want them?This will be my first attempt at building a custom ported box so any help will be greatly appreciated....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You should be fine, as long as you don't put them on the bottom...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

there was a book (loudspeaker cookbook?) that said that a port can be placed on any side of the enclosure... but multiple ports should be placed on the same plane
