Imagine wind is going into a port, what happends . Is it louder or just force vs force.

Someone .
are u asking why ported is louder?

It just seemed logical to me that if there was more air to be pushed it would be louder, I don't know much about it. You never know. Is the round sub going to be the *only* way to make bass or what?

yah, but you move more air with more cone.

there are square subs that work just as well too. even triangle subs.

I suggest doing a search on how subwoofers work and how spekaers work in general..then research speaker enclosures and READ ALOT...then come back and ask an educated question if you want a good answer....
btw...drugs are bad!

The air in a port is actually moving in and out very fast, it's caused by the movement of the cone moving in and out so trying to blow air in or out of the port would probably affect the output in a negative way, probalbly so small it would only be measurable(you wouldn't hear it). If you put resistance on cone movement you will loose output.

ya, more air pushed is louder but thru adding another driver in the same enclosure or a bigger driver or same driver withmore xmax and power etc.

See, when the driver pushes inward into the ported enclosure, the air is pushed out thru the vent, but it only reinforces the front wave (rear wave is in phase with front wave) at the box tuning point (Fb) and higher, at tuning point, the vent also helps dampen the driver (thatīs why the driver doesnt move much at tuning point) but the air velocity in the vent reaches max. Below tuning point, the rear wave is out of phase with the front wave. This actually becomes sort of a high pass filter (to a small extent) thats why thereīs less output below tuning point. But, it unloads the driver and it can easily exceed its xmax and damage it...
thatīs why you never run cycles below the tuning point!
hope thatīs the answer your looking for.......
