I think you add half the port height/width to the tune length, but I've forgotten exactly.

However,

It's going to thump awesome. It'll work.

I'd stuff some poly fill in there regardless.
So I just wanted to give you a big shout out! since talking with you and then i increased the box size, I got a message back from JL Audio. The developer for their boxes emailed me back with what he thought about my dimensions for the entire box including the port. He said that the tuning frequency of the box will be right around 33.15 HZ and the response curve and port velocity should be great. So again, Thanks for your responses especially. I appreciate all the others too, but you really got me back into paying very close attention to dimensions.
