I was just wondering how much airspace i need around my box for it to still be loud without loosing much of the sound, im porting through the back deck and i got about 3 inches ontop and if i remove that trim about 4 1/2 inches infront.

I've always been told to keep at least as much as the port is high (for instance if the port is 23w x 5 h, keep at least 5 inches).

I've had several boxes that were 1/2 the distance they "should" be, but they sounded a lot better than some others that stuck to the rule. I would build the box the way you need it to fit the subs in properly and go from there. I'm sure some will disagree but I say try it and rebuild if unhappy.

This. Well, allow at least the area of the port plus a bit more. Otherwise the panels just act as a kinda horrible extension to your port. Can be a good way to get a higher tuned box to play low though ;)
