Wow pic looks horrible from photobucket. But you should get the jest of what kind of box I want to do. the front port is 12.625x12.625 and then goes to 6.3125x12.625 in the back two sides .I dont know if this port would keep the same tuning I wanted or if it would even work

Would it be possible to have the port run up the back of the box instead of splitting in two and running towards each side?

You could also try making the port less tall and more wide. I know a 1:1 aspect ratio is best, but going like a 3:1 has very little performance impact.

Yes that's possible but I didn't know if it was a good idea to have the force of the woofers going straight down on the port end. If that will not affect the performance or effiecincy, port noise or anything I will reduce it to a 3:1. Will have the port straight up like that be the better way to go?

Well generally you don't want the cones firing directly into the end of the port, its kinda hard to tell just from your drawing if that will happen or not.

Yup, that's right. If your port is 5" wide before it gets to the back, it would be 2.5" wide going to either side. That way your total port area remains the same.

Good explaining!!

In the crappy drawing it has the ends split. If I did a 7x23x 28 inches long the port would have to come straight up about 7.25 so the woofers would be dirctly firing into the port. The box had a max dimension of 25 so that's y I have the port going up. I was trying to avoid it by spliting the ends so the force wouldn't be right on the port. Any way any one could Maby molded it? If I did the port straight it would be 36.5 depth with no room at all. Anyone got anothe way I could go.
