trying new things, is there anything wrong with putting port on outside of the subwoofer box?

I’ve been trying different things with subwoofer boxes and one thing I was going to try is mount the port on the outside of the box. Does anybody see something wrong with this? Currently Im planning on putting in 3 P212D2′S
ive calculated the volume for the missing port and am going to build it around those demensions

I do not think this will work well the port length is usually determined by finding the inside volume of the sub box and calculating the correct port length if you mount the port on the outside i think you will not get as good of sound as if you mounted the proper length port on the inside.

   You mean make it stick out like a muffler tip or something? I don’t see anything wrong with that as long as the air is circulating in and out of the box.
