Go to bcae1.com and look at subs and enclosure section.
Answer to your question is no. If you want ported, you will need to design the box from the start. Same logic applies if you wanted to go the other way, ported to sealed.

sealed enclosures are usually built smaller than ported so don't do it.

Damping material can be used to compensate for inadaquate box volume however the gain would be minimal here. You're startin' over bud.

damping material only compensates for a 10% gain in volume.
a ported enclosure is usually larger on the order of 50%.
you cannot take a sealed box, cut a hole in it, stuff in a port, and expect it to work.
just build a new box to the proper specs.

Chad didn't you just take a sealed box and stick 4'' aeros on it?Lol...you CAN do it but will it perform well?Probably not.The best thing to do would be to build an all new box or have a box built for you.
