So here are some photos of the box design. The total outside dimensions of the box are as follows.
24.5" Wide
27.5" Tall
34.5" Deep
The port design I decided on is basically a complete self enclosed port inside the box. Meaning it does not rely on the bottom or back panel as a port wall. This makes it stiffer and allows me to move the bottom of the port cutout up from one inch from the bottom to two inches.
Also the port length is exactly the specified length of 37.29" when measured from the face of the front baffle to the opening inside the box. Measured along midway of the port (1.5" down the 3" wall)
The port itself is 3" tall by 14" wide inside dimension.
