No disrespect brother...But I studied this field for years.. Then give arguments that are based on facts and can be checked. (maybe even provide a source while you're at it.) How are Octogonal ports ever going to give more port area that the same size circle, not to mention a square port. EDIT: yes, I actually made this in paint. That is a pic of surface comparison .. Volume I guess that would depend on the desired frequency as you have to figure in the Length of the port walls as well.Correct?
