A loudspeaker system includes a cabinet with an interior air volume, a
transducer, a first port extending from an opening in the front wall of
the cabinet to the interior of the cabinet, and a second port extending
from and opening in the rear wall of the cabinet to the interior of the
cabinet. The first and second ports are aligned along a common
longitudinal axis and the interior ends of the ports are separated from
each other by a predetermined distance. First and second flanges having a
diameter larger than the first and second ports are disposed at the
interior ends of the first and second ports, respectively.
