Hello,
I am struggling placing my port, because the enclosure will have an angle at the bottom and therefore I'm losing some precious length there (port is quite long - 35cm). I was planning to put the port sideways of the woofer but realized maybe its not ideal ? I really cannot make a full squared box and I want the speaker to face the bottom of the trunk.

Thanks !

Ok, thank you for the answer. If I am asking that today it is because I read quite a few posts talking about having a port facing the opposite side of the woofer, and it looked like it was a problem, so I just want to make sure my plan is ok
It is a resonance vent in action, just make sure it points to the listening area, and is 25% or more of the speaker diameter.
If needed, put two vents.
Is it for a car trunk?

It is for a car trunk yes, what do you mean by make it point to the listening area ? I f I get it right, then no, it is obviously not pointing to the listening area since I will be 90° from the vent...
The short answer is that you can put the port anywhere you want. The longer answer: in a car port placement is less relevant because there are too many surfaces reflecting the wavelength to facilitate an informed calculation.
In a house the effect is far more complex. At distance of 1m the SPL of a frequency may be enhanced by the port at the front. However, sound from a rear mounted ported will bounce of wall travelling a greater distance before reach your ear, the increased distance may result in secondary wavelengths . . .
It'll be fine.
