In Reply to: RE: Bass port location posted by audio39 on September 08, 2016 at 11:10:31
"Would it be best to locate each bass port directly behind and on center with each of the bass drivers?"
That's the worst thing you can do. Depending on the distance between driver and port, the woofer can directly modulate the air in the port rather than the volume in the enclosure. The result is ragged response and likely a loss of low-bass output. Play it safe and install the ports on the front.

I got the idea from looking at cutaways of new Dali speakers, and Monitor Audio have placed ports very near the back of drivers in a model or two.
Right, but there's no way to know why they did that, what effect it has or whether a DIY attempt will produce similar results. There's a risk to this approach, and I'm simply suggesting that you avoid it.
