Hey I am wondering how you calculate port length if it has a bend in it. The reason it needs to bend is that the box is behind the seat of a regular cab truck and in order for the port to be the correct length of 3x27.8" or 2x11.9 . The dims of the box are 40.5" wide, 13.5" high, 7.5" top depth and 11.5" bottom depth, with a divider in the center. The box is for 2 JL 10W0 subs.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Tim

It's a simple linear measurement inside the port. Start at the front and simply measure back to the end (or vice versa ) Be sure to keep the diameter the same all the way. A bend is normal, especially for slot ports. Oh, and don't forget if you have a divided enclosure you need to have a port for each sub and it needs to be calculated for the enclosure volume in each half.
