I dont see how your getting 10 for the port height, thats not possible.

However if the inner dimension is 8.5h of the port.

Then it looks like your at 1.73cuft@41Hz

(not good for a daily setup)

^thats with speaker and port displacement included.

I came up with 1.983 cubic feet after speaker and port displacement.

What changes to the port need to be made to make this enclosure go from 39 down to 32Hz. I am about to build a box.

port needs to be a little longer around 35 inches

40 sq in of port area? Isn't that a bit much for a single 12? Should be more like 24-32 sq in. I'd try decreasing your port area then your port length will be much shorter for a 32hz tune, more like 24in.
