Wayne, bracing restricting port flow?


I've come across a situation where some bracing in one of my enclosures is boxing in the one (and only) 4" port. The enclosure in this picture is shaped like an "L", with the port and woofer on one side of the "L". Both chambers have to flow freely with eachother so everything acts as one box. I'm a bit concerned that my bracing is going to constrict the flow of air from the port into the enclosure and just wanted some other opinions.

I know it's a difficult picture, but you can just see the port tucked into the corner at the back of the box, with the woofer just above it. You can see how the two braces are kinda forming a little box around the port.

The two openings are approximately 8"x4.5" and 3.5"x16". There will also be light polyfill in the enclosure.

Whadda ya think?

Thanks!

Adam
