[QUOTE="tcguy85, post: 4100078, member: 574289"] the sub as it is in the box it is in is completely fine on 95% of the music i have played through it. the only time i have heard port noise is on extremely low notes at a really really high volume. notes that are either very close to tuning or maybe even slightly below it. the box is tuned to 30hz. i was thinking of building a new box since the one i have is a tad ghetto(uses a 3" aero that is half external, half internal), i like it and it performs well though. but i was thinking of building a slot ported box tuned to the same number but with a bit more port. i would say around 12sq inches of port. if it'll negatively change the sound then i'll leave it alone. function over form ya know. i like how tight the sound is and how hard it hits. it's a very fun setup to listen to on rock/metal. if adding more port will take away the tightness then no way am i changing it. i listen to metal and rock 90% of the time and the setup right now is just insane sounding for it. if going from a 3" flared round port to a rectangular slot port with lets say 12sq inches won't benifit me then i'll leave it alone.
