Sundown x-8 ported enclosure

With displacement it was sitting around 0.5 cubes....the more important issue is that it originally came with a 4" aero port that was almost 3" long....I dont know exactly how long it needs to be but I know it was wayyyyy too short. The woofer was basically free airing. A buddy made a smaller square port insert which brought it down from 66hz to 48 I believe.

Yeah, that's pretty fail.

Would you be so kind to offer me a load of advise as I begin my adventure with my first box.

You need .75 cubes net with 14" of port tuned in the mid 30s. 14" of port in an aero is a 4" aero

Should I be loading off the roof or door? I was told door because the roof is too far away, is that correct? What are some key differences in loudness from slot port to aero.

Well I figured since you had aero you'd want to keep an aero.

Im so pissed at my whole box ordeal that I am open to anything, this was the first box I have ever had that was aero and obviously a bad experience but it was build incorrectly. If you look at images in link, you can see the challenging area I have to work with.

If someone has any links to good post or video on how to do a glass and wood box I am all ears. I think I am going to glass in the bottom and do the rest in birch with dark stained sides and a leather/vinyl top. Any one have links to those stainless steel screws with rings around head that I see people using?
