Well because I have two subs, one for each channel and because my neighbours will probably come and beat me up if I play it loud enough to get chuffing from stereo 4" ports with flares both ends . . . . I think 4" will be ok - but I appreciate your logic

And I'm also going to try infinite baffle to see how that compares - perhaps BR for movies & IB for music - we'll see

I'm bowing out. I think there are too many cooks in here for the good of the soup.

This may sound a little off content right now... but I just want to say that I have installed the longer ports already a week ago now and the difference is very clear. Althought I only have 3'' ports now, I will eventually upgrade to 4'' that follow the sides of the enclosure so that it won't look silly. I am still not completely convinced with the performance of my sub, but it still does sound pretty good when I stay realistic. I will post later my Ideas to integrate ports better. It seems as my computer won't let me upload photos, so I just won't upload them.. And also... Hello mikelm! welcome to the thread!

Thanks for your welcome - I'm wondering do you have speaker design software on ur PC ?

BTY - this is ur thread about ur speakers so YOU cannot be off topic

I'm sorry if my question went into the foreground for a while, I thought the things that came out might have been mutually interesting
