Nice job with SketchUp?

How much power are you going to be running? Your port area might be a bit on the low side.

About 1200 watts at 1 ohm

Something I should have added is I as worried about the back of the ports being to close to the back of the box

is 4" enough??

No a single 4" port won't be enough, you would need two 4" ports at a minimum or a 30 sq in slot port.

I meant the space behind the tubes they are 11" long and the box is 15" deep so that leaves 4" behind the port (actually 3 1/4") I wasn't sure if that would be enough

Generally you want one port diameter of clearance to any internal walls.

So I'm just barely in the clear there
