Hi Wayne, All

I am nearly finished with my 2206 based system. the box is 32 liters and I am aiming for a port tuning of 60Hz. As the baffle is small and the tweeter (ribbon, philips rsq8p) is physically large and the baffle is 2 inches thick, The port is going to be with a relatively large area with a lenght of 2 inches. I am making the port oval. I have 2 options for port placement. 1) directly under the woofer very close to the edge of the cone. would that give me problems with midrange sounds escaping from the inside ?

2) behind the tweeter.
The speaker is going to be suspended from the ceiling in a corner. So there will be some air behind the box, this might be a good way of making an acoustic low pass for midrange sounds excaping from the port.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Cheers
Andreas
