That's getting pretty small for earthshakers like the Premiums are. But you can expect the same tuning frequency if you'll make a 4" diameter port that's 3.5" long.

I recommend that you consider keeping the larger rectangular port if you can.

A 6" diameter port would be perfect - Make it 10" long. But the trouble is that you can't fit this port in the cabinet; It's a tight squeeze.

Then again, if the compression horn is mounted externally, you might not have any trouble fitting the 6" round port. And I know how you like to put those cool wood horns on top of the cabinets!
