Recently i saw an audio store having for sale a pair of UREI they restored. It was evident the port cover installed didn't look at all like the original one i posted. It appeared to be open and angled metal horizontal slits, say similar to a half-open or so horizontal blind on a window. In that case it would let the air easily in or out of the cab, in a way like a vented box.
This is far from the original UREI design of a quasi-sealed box with its foam port covers on. There's different quality levels of restoration applied to the UREI systems. Maybe these systems are misunderstood, their parts unavailable or that owner didn't really care about the outcome.
