Hey all. Im rearranging the furniture in my living room( the other half is wanting a different look). As a result, the HT speaker setup is changing positions. My sub will be placed near a corner boundary....I'd say about a foot and a half from the side wall and about 4 inches from the back wall. My question is since my sub is rear ported, is that enough room for the port to breathe?? Is there any rule of thumb about the distance the port has to be from a boundary (or in this case the back wall). Any info or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
My Setup: Denon AVR X3600h, Polk Signature S50 Fronts w/ S30 Center and S15 Rears, LG UBK90 4K Player, TCL 6-Series 65”4k TV

Oh OK. I read somewhere online,can't remember were, but it said to place the port about the same distance from the wall as the diameter of the port itself...example if the port is 4 inches in diameter, then place the sub or speaker 4 inches from the wall the port is facing,at minimum...to prevent "port loading". Is there any truth to that?? In any case, I'm gonna try fiddling.

Well I played with the new placement of my f12...4 inches from the rear wall seems to be the spot...or the new spot I should say :-). Suppose what I read online about the "rule of thumb" regarding distance of the rear port from a boundary is true...at least in my case. Thanks for your input nbrowser :-).My Setup: Denon AVR X3600h, Polk Signature S50 Fronts w/ S30 Center and S15 Rears, LG UBK90 4K Player, TCL 6-Series 65”4k TV
