ok... i went to the shop in town and they said that it was bad to have my port facing the magnet of my sub in the box, (the PVC port faces the side the sub) they said it would keep to box from building compression and the wave wouldnt form right.

is this true???

also they said that since my port faces the sub i could put a piece of MDF between the sub and port so the wave would bypass the port and develope in the back of the box...then come out of teh port.

is this true???

Ideally they should have just said that you should have put the port on the same side as the sub is mounted. Although if you pressed for space you really have no choice. MDF thing would work- if there is enough room bettween the port end and the sub magnet. Make sure the port isnt blocked though.

Is that to scale? How much distance is there from the port to the side of the sub? If that's to scale, you shouldn't have a problem.

the distance from the end of the port to the sub is a little over 1 ft.

I didnt reailize that your port had a 90 degree in the box. If you put the MDF you should be able to hear a bit of differance.
