got pictures, grab a jig saw and cut a bigger hole. build a new port and glue/screw it on.

btw: I just built a new box, because i made my port 4x4x6. Looks nice on paper, but...

It sounds good but lots of port noise now. An idk if this matters but now the tensils are hitting the cone harder it has that cushion but I can still here it.

5 in long 5 in wide it's a little square. I am running two twelf in re somethings ha no one knows what they are ha

[dohckiller808]

can you chop it out bigger? i would go around 64 square for your box and sub setup.

[fecupe2001]

What subs?? what amount of power?? if you did that port, i guess you want to hit the lows because it´s a big box and very low tuning.

if the box it´s 47" wide, you have a lot of space to work with, leave the 5" high and get 13" wide, 24" depth (L port) would give you around 36 hz and 2.2 cubic feet for each sub, that would be a very simple but nice box, unless you are using some monsters 12" subs or very tiny power, but once again, i don´t know what subs and power you use...
