I know if you use flared ports you can get away with a higher m/s value. For example, with the expensive precision ports you can get away with numbers closer to 30m/s. If you're using wood to make your port, just take a roundover router bit (the bigger the better) to the port openings. then sand it down nicely so it is smooth. It won't be as good as a precision port, but it will be a little better, and should be fine for you to go with that 22m/s port.

Make sure that you put in your actual wattage in that port velocity chart... the velocity will change alot from say 100watts to 400watts.
