Tuning ports for multple frequencies?

I'm curious if it's possible to do port tuning for multiple frequencies by angling the port walls.

No. To do so defeats the purpose of the vent to begin with, sorry.

just curious. so far I've only used sealed. Seems to work better for me since I'm not a bass head.

It's not hard if you want to try the basics. All you need is a hand-held calculator and some basic knowledge of when and when not to vent a box. And you don't need to be a bass-head to try a vented box. For some drivers, it's better.

you could build a box with variable port length that could be changed depending on your mood.

Well, since choosing a tuning frequency isn't a choice (it's calculated based on the driver and the box alignment) and unless you can find a way to vary the box size at the same time, it won't work. Again, sorry.
