Yea wiring is kind of time consuming. I rewired my whole truck(audio wise) and I kinda sucked. At school we rewired(almost the whole car) a 2002 Audi A4, wow what a nightmare!

are you going to trim that port down so it is flush with the box? just curious, if not what is the reason?

the port will be flush apon final Assembly. im currently running a 11" long 4" round port. i didn't glue it in right away in case i wanted to switch the port out for a different length(changes the Hz that the box puts out most spl and the sub runs most efficient at). since it wasnt glued in if i pushed it flush with the top of the box it only had 3/4" of friction holding it is and it would vibrate loose and fall into the box with hard base notes.

Im also trying to think of a way the i can hold the port in without glue and wont displace any internal space so that i could switch the ports out easily

can you glue some sort of flair to the top of it that allows it to rest in the hole but also allows it to be pulled out easily? also why would you want to change out the ports? you should build the box and the port based on your desired hz level tuning the box with the port
