    Thanks Frank and thanks for your help.

    Will try front mounting, no gasket at the minute.

    I take it it will sound different?

    You may wish to staple a piece of cloth over the rear of the port to contain the rockwool particles that may become airborne as air flows out of the port.

    The thought of all that glass fibre open to the room had crossed my mind, not good.

    I hadn’t thought of putting a piece of something over the end of the port.

    As these are very much prototypes and won’t around for too long, I hope, I think I’ll stick with it as is for now.

    I’ll try blanking the port by 1/3rd then 2/3rds and see how it goes for bass response then perhaps lengthen it.

    Sorry I didn’t fit 3 x 100mm circular ports.

    Good ideas fellas, thanks. Still messing with port dimensions. All compromises!
