HHR Ed Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Depends on the length. Ports only bend when the total length is too much to fit inside the box without bending.

tahoexfixssd Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 to get the appropriate length... if the length of the port doesnt exceed the depth of the box, then it doesnt have to bend, but make sure its the same width off the back wall as the width of the port itself Quote NOVEMBER 2008 SYSTEM OF THE MONTH!

adam6604 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 If your box isn't deep enough to accommodate the port length required you bend it. If you can get your port requirements without bending it go for it. Hope I'm right Quote Driving my 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 MEGA cab with the 5.7 hemi.

egag Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 they dont have to bend but if they are bent then it is more than likely to get the correct amount of port length/port area Quote 1994 Jeep Cherokee !@#$%^&*(Soon to come)*&^%$#@!

FroznBeavrBALLs Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 it just bends to fit. it doesnt have to bend as long as you get the right amount of length.

Hifonics Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) so for all intents and purposes, a bend in the port is not necessary if your tuning is what you want it to be? so if I have a box like this: (view from top in 2d (lol)) and the tune is 35hz, will it be fine like this?
