Pretty much. Aside from having to live with the sound of a sealed box it likely won't damage the woofer or anything.

The resonant frequency of a sealed box is:

Fb = (Qtc/Qts) * Fs

becouse of room in fg box.the box is long and thin .i would need to a 90dg then get my arm in there to make it fit right. but if i think i cad do it, i will port it out later.

hen i make the port i'm i better off cutting 2x 45dg or 4x22.5dg or 4x11.25dg?
