thanks ava. what were the dimensions of the port you made? the more i think about it the more i like the idea of the slot port.
Sorry for the slow response I missed your post. I used a 12.5" wide x 3" deep x 56" long (total) port. Since the port was folded over I just calculated volume and ensured the two were the same.

Just like with regular round ports the length will be very specific to the cabinet and driver you are using. I would suggest making the port as long as possible while ensuring your port resonance will be out of the passband (don't forget that crossovers leakage). Also, another step that I suggest taking is using at least 3/4" rounds on all edges within the port that could inhibit airflow in either direction (in or out).

If for some reason I ignore a question again feel free to PM me and remind me to answer .
