If you want the loudest possible enclosure for your subs do you want more enclosure volume or more port area?

What are the positives and negatives of more port area or less.

More = Less port noise?

Less = More port noise?

Don't trust me, I'm not 100% Sure, LOL

Well I do understand that lol.

I just ask because I believe nick recommends 12-16 square inches of port for every cube of enclosure volume, but I wonder how different a box would sound with 36 square inches of port vs a box with 48 square inches of port and the same amount of volume this is the question I am getting at.

If internal volume is the same, theoretically the enclosure with more port will be more loud, because the port is more linear.

The port area has nothing to do with box size. It has everything to do with input power.

Compression of vent output is directly related to input power, so unless you know how much power you will use, you have no idea of how much vent area you need..

A few T/S parameters are needed to calculate minimum port area as well
