I feel air from the port

[typicaljawaiian]

Certain songs I play, when I sit in the passenger seat of the car I feel air coming out of the port. Mostly the low frequencies. Its a trunk car with a 6" aero on the passenger side. Sub and port forward.

Is that normal, if not, what is going on? Will that damage my gear?

Thanks

i may be out of line here, but im pretty sure the idea of a port is to move enough air you can feel it?

The main purpose of a port is to tune the enclosure; It just allows air to leave it

Well I just got in a discussion w/ someone that said the placement of the sub in the box was causing unloading? I thought tuning determined unloading. He said it wasn't loading on the port wall or something. Im totally lost on this concept and I was wondering if my setup was doing the same thing?

x2, in my 03 Grand Am, I have my XL15 firing into the cabin and the port is on my side, and it moves my hair a bit in its sweet spot around 25-30Hz. This is with 2 4" Aero's.

The thing is that the amount of air I could feel coming over my shoulder didn't feel normal. It was almost "gushing".

I dont want the sub loosing control in the box and then lead to "unloading"

I type so slow I dont get to read the posts that pop up in between mine, anyway, I guess the concensus is that its normal
