However, the port size is determined by the square footage of a subwoofer box. The optimal amount for this type of enclosure would be 16-20 inches deep, with an 18-inch depth being the most common. If the port is too large, it will actually decrease output and extension rather than increase them.Oct 26, 2021
How do I know what size port for my sub box?

How big should a port hole be?
As a guide, follow these points when deciding on a bass drum port hole size: Minimum 4 inches in diameter to allow a microphone (although 5 inches is better to ensure all mics will fit). If you never plan to mic the bass drum, the minimum is 3 inches – you won't notice much difference if you go below this.
Does port size matter sub box?
yes it matters. you need the port opening large enough to prevent port noise, and you need the right diameter (or LxW) and depth to tune the port to a specific frequency based on the box's volume.
Can a subwoofer port be too small?
If the port becomes too small, it may result in port noise, or allow the woofer to simply unload. Do not underestimate the sub / port arrangement. Sometimes where you place the vents or subs can make a monstrous difference in output.
Can a subwoofer port be too big?
A subwoofer port that's too large will not produce the same quality sound as a smaller one. This is because larger ports have more air resistance, which can distort the bass response due to airflow turbulence.
What should my port area be?
To keep port velocities right around 30 m/sec you can multiply the square root of the power density by . 605 and that will give you how many sq in per cubic foot of box volume you need. So in my example of a 500 watts per cube enclosure that means you need 13.5 sq in per cube.
Can a port be too big?
A subwoofer port that's too large will not produce the same quality sound as a smaller one. This is because larger ports have more air resistance, which can distort the bass response due to airflow turbulence.
What happens if your port is too small?
If the port is too small in diameter you can get a chuffing sound from the air flow turbulance in and out of the port. That is why ports sometimes have beveled edges to reduce that effect. If you start beveling a short 3" port it changes the effective diameter and length.
