Exclamation Port Question

ok so i was wondering if the width of the port matters cause as you can see on my diagram for my sub they only give you the length and the one width for the size of the port. so could i make this port 10" x 4" x 15"?? or 10" x 4" x 20"? Im making it a rectangle port if that helps

thx guys

the diagram given is for a round port(aero) it is 4" in diameter, which is the distance across a circle. that is why there is only 1 measurment.

thx
