I have a slot ported box in my trunk, and when I open the trunk lid up, I can hear a ton of port noise coming from the box. Is there anything I can do to reduce this?

Only way w/ a slot port is to start from scratch and use a larger port.

Dang, I'm not gonna do that then. Thanks anways. You can't hear it at all normally though, just when you open the trunk up, so no big deal.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it if you can't hear it from the driver seat although you might be able to help things a bit if you radius'd(smooth) the outside and inside edges a bit.

High velocity air passing over those sharp edges creates lil vortices which is whats making that chuffing noise.

I have thought about that. So you think rounding the edges would help a little?

i wouldnt open the trunk if i were you for an extended period of time with the music playing because the subwoofers get too much air and they have a lot greater chance of having to be replaced

Ok. You don't know what your talking about man. It's not free air. The sub is still in the box. I think some1 else said that once and every body laughed at him.
