Btw, port displacement does not mean just the volume of the material used for making the hollow pipe ya. You need to account for it as a solid cylinder. And before the 'old man' points out, when calculating the port displacement, please add the wall thickness of the port to the effective or internal port diameter considered in the volume calculation.
Agreed 100%. While sealed enclosures are comparitively more forgiving, ported means being precise.
