[QUOTE="watts, post: 1721797, member: 567836"] It doesn't have to be a slot port it could round with a elbow. I would be careful the actual box volume should include the volume of the magnet and cone structure along with the volume occupied by the port(The manufacture estimated this for you when he gave you the dimensions). If you build an enclosure with a slot port that is made from a thick piece of wood it will change the recommended volume. Keep in mind the manufacture has just given you three numbers that simply corresponds to the required volume you can squish those numbers any way you want as long as the box volume doesn't change. For example you have 12.5*14.5*17.25=3126.562 in^3 convert to ft^3 3126.562 in^3/1728=1.79 ft^3 By changing the dimensions. 10-3/8*12*25=3112.5 convert to ft^3 3112.5 in^3/1728=1.80 ft^3 Now you have room for your port but you haven't changed the volume of the enclosure at least enough to make a noticeable difference.
