Any nearfield tests available (up to 200hz) for the Zaph 5" in a sealed cabinet?

Hi Rick,
Well, digging through my measurements, I've got a high level nearfield response and impedance curve in a 4.43 liter box, which is what I used for the delta compliance Vas measurement, along with confirming my T/S numbers. I never posted that but I can if you'd like to see. It's only accurate up to maybe 600 Hz though.- Bottom

Here's a near field (1/4" mic distance) with the mic about 1.5" in from the cone edge in a 4.43 liter box, a close up of the impedance in that box, and then a modeled curve in that box based on the measured T/S parameters.
F3 in sealed is around 100 Hz almost regardless of the box it's in. Not deep enough to use without a sub, IMHO.- Bottom

Hi all,
I'm also interested in a ZA5.2 for nearfield listening, but in the ported config. I'm following Zaph's advice regarding enclosure size (mine's gonna be 7L), tuning (about 62Hz with the stock port) and reduced BSC crossover.
The only detail I'm not sure yet about is where to mount the port, on the front or back. Using the 7L cabinet drawing, I won't have enough baffle height to place the port there, so I'll probably go with the rear mounted port, or a rectangular custom port.
So... I know there are some trade offs, but they aren't that clear for me, as this is my first diy speaker building project. If I understood right , I'll lose some bass output around the tuning frequency with the port on the back for nearfield listening, won't I?
Any kind of help is much appreciated!
Cheers- Bottom

He also mentioned that the port should be front-mounted for nearfield listening. How close will you be listening?
If there is not enough height for a round port, possibly you could do two smaller ports, or a slotted rectangular port on the bottom?
