Hi everyone
I'm building a two way system with a 12" Faital Pro bass and a horn sitting on top. For the cabinet for the bass, I'm doing a 100L enclosure with a slot port.
I'm a bit in doubt how to proceed with the slot port both regarding design and construction.
If I build the slot port in the front, my idea was to cut a hole in the front plate and building a box to glue on the backside. In this design, I assume the port also needs some kind of bracing below to support the weight?
The side port seems easier to make as I will simply just add another plate inside the cabinet.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

Why would you choose a slot port - and a port design which will also introduce port rectification?
A suitably profiled single circular port will be superior in every way.

OK, understood. The simplest way is to use the the loudspeaker base as one wall and build the slot with three other pieces. This has the advantage of stiffening the base too.
Alright, so with the photo references above you would recommend the version with building a box inside and mounting on the front panel and not the one with slot port on the side?
By calculations the port will be W30 x H6 x D20cm
