Port Problem

Blair Unregistered guest	Posted on Saturday, April 09, 2005 - 08:32 GMT The gap between the inside end of the port and a side wall of the box is only 5cm (2 inches) will this be a problem for air flow? oh and another quick question... if an amp says it has a max input voltage of say 2.5 volts and my head unit puts out 6 volts will that damage the amp or what?

The ports job is to regulate pressure and tune the box to a desired frequency. If the port is restricted in any way, it will alter the sound as far as dramatically. The port size, length, shape, flare (if applicable), bends, and location is significantly important.
