i have a wedge box 30 wide 19 high 9 bd 6 td , with a slot port facing the drivers side of a 1996 reg cab s10 , my problem is i have amps behind the drivers seat and dont think im getting enough airflow , im running a re sxx and think i could do better on air flow but dont want to build another box , i was going to cap off the port and use a round port on the top , my question is , do i need to remove the old tuning port ??
thanks
jim

No, the old port can remain in the box. It won't function as a resonator if it is sealed. I've done this before myself.
-------------
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
