Ports

Anonymous	Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 - 18:34 GMT Does it matter where a port is on a box? Should it be below the sub, in a corner or does it even matter? Also, are round ports better than square vents and which is easier to build and work with (all the math involved)

Not always. It depends on your application.

"round ports take up less volume in a box then a slot port will, but the slot will help reduce port whistle." All things being equal( port area and tuning) then they both have the same volume. Having enough port area is what stops whistle.
