Hello...i'm using a small polk sub with a rear port. i have it situated a few inches from a side wall and about 3.5 feet from the corner. i've noticed if i go behind the sub there is a lot of muffled base. i'm wondering if this is normal for a sub with rear port or if it is a location problem. it seems most of the newer subs have the port on the front so i'm thinking a rear port is no longer considered practical. i would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Irrelevant where the port is. Port chuff is probably what you are hearing.Sub crawlGoogle that.
thanks for the reply...i always had the impression chuffing was more of a sporadic thing. so you're saying it wouldn't matter where the sub was located, this is going to happen anyway.

Small Polk(which I assume you mean 8") probably has a "not much tech put into it" port.
you're exactly right. it's a situation i'm hoping to improve on this fall.
