Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Bass reflex with port on the front or on the back ... any difference ?

The port actually acts like another low frequency driver and is similar in principle to a passive radiator. Low frequency drivers tend to not be directional, but can be affected by their proximity to obstructions. Unless the speaker is designed to be placed near a back wall, the location of the port will have only a minor effect on the bass and some manufacturers have offered speakers in more than one port configuration.
