copied an easy answer

hi. all u gotta use is pie. if u have a round port of say 4 inches diameter. u must multiply this by pie(3.14 approx). this will give you 12.56.now wat u have here is the surface area of the port.

now consider 12.56 as a single length of the port. now if ur port is 1 inch wide(slotted), and the port is 12.56 in height- 12.56multiplied by 1 = 12.56.so finally if ur port is gonna be 2 inches wide all u gotta do is divide 12.56 by 2. and this gives ur dimensions. 6.28 in height and 2 inches width.u can do this forever u can divide it by 3,4,5 but remember u always have to use both numbers as the dimensions.

also when makin the port u must consider the displacement of the mdf if it is a certain thickness it will take up space, and therefore reduce volume of the box. so making the box bigger is a must if u r using very thick mdf.

oh yeah, if u want two ports into one, all u have to do is calculate the surface area of the port so say 4inches * 3.14= 12.56. all u do is add this to the surface area of the other port. so therefore 12.56*2=25.12. so your port will be this amount divided by whatever width you want the port to be. but remember that the port at say 25.12 inches in height will always be 1 inch wide not 0. (do the math)
