Nope - stock TNT130 triangle port, according to my ~1986 scorpion-loaded TNT130. I have a "long delayed by the fact that what I actually play with my band is unamplified upright" mod somewhere deep in the pantry where it landed after it fell off the back burner to take over the headspace as additional case volume and fiddle with the porting. I got as far as making a headcase and moving the amp into it with a SpeakOn, which did have the desired effect of making it less of a chore to move the speaker cab, and a breeze to move the amp - plus it offers more options in speakers, potentially. But very limited electric use means the project stalled there...

Janky-A Rigs of Doom

Might I direct your attention to an earlier post in this thread, concerning another Peavey product and urine-smelling fluid—post 809, I believe

Found this pic online. Make sure you get your tetanus shot!
Hmmm, are we giving out awards or anything? That one should get "Jank of the Month" and be placed in the running for "Jank of the Year - 2023"! lol - I wonder how good a janky calendar would sell.
I don't know if this has troubled anyone else, since the mid-80's, and every day since :
In "The Terminator" Kyle Reese arrives, stark naked, from a post-apocalyptic future. Crashing through time, into down-town Los Angeles grottiest back alley.
He then steals the trousers from the nearest hobo, and puts them straight on, hobo-fresh. No underwear.
A passing police cruiser spots what going on, and the police give chase.
In the glare of the cruisers headlights, we're treated to several close-ups of Reese's fleeing backside - revealing some pretty disturbing hobo-stains, to both the rear, and the crotch of the trousers.
My point is that if the police hadn't interrupted Reese; he would have also stolen that rig from the hobo.
I think we have a winner.
This deserves some kind of janky award.
I don't remember what the speakers were. A matched set of old 15" speakers that someone claimed were old bass cab speakers... and me, not knowing anything about anything, but in possession of a hammer, nails, wood, and glue, put together a cabinet and made myself a 215, with no regard to how it was tuned or anything. I just tried to make it generally look like other things I have seen around. 
It sounded weird at first, and after reading a bit, figured it might have something to do with my big shelf port at the bottom, so I blocked most of it by jamming a box into it. Made it sound pretty good!

We have here a $60 Craigslist Dean Demonator bass, rewired passive, feeding a Joyo British Sound pedal acting as a preamp. The Joyo signal feeds a Crown MicroTech 600 power amp, running bridged mono (750 watts into the 4-ohm AudioKinesis Birdhaus 4 x 8" cab.)
The Joyo's output is enough when the Crown's input sensitivity is switched to the 0.775V setting.
With the Joyo's gain set real low, output set real high, it stays pretty clean and interacts well with that big heavy box of headroom under the speaker cab. It was a pretty fun sound, and easy to tweak on the fly.
I don't know about the rig, but your photography is so janky, it looks like an upset Baristabot-2000 serving two cups of coffee.
No, the cab itself is not janky. It's light, loud and articulate. The Jank comes from the contraptions I have been using to power it, which work well sonically but look like the Millenium Falcon crashed into a full dumpster.
I've been wanting to add a 12" cabinet to my lineup... so I'm making a new Janky Rig of Doom. 
In it's previous life... a sheet of MDF from Ikea to live its sad life as the side wall of a cupboard. Now, it's evolved into a bass cabinet that no one can be proud of, but at least it's more useful. Also, since I'm bad at math, not everything worked as originally drawn out, and so I improvised a bit. But whatevs.
This week I'll finish sealing the seams, get my handles, ports, and jack, cut them out, sand it a bit, paint it, and install them. For the driver, I made the box for a Delta 12LFA speaker.
It's heavier than I thought it would be. I might lodge a complaint with Ikea.

I would love to see the email exchanges between you and Ikea when you tell them of the cabinet's epic fail as a bass cabinet. "It says right on the box CABINET!" I say that as a constantly face-palming customer service person who answers troubleshooting calls.I've been wanting to add a 12" cabinet to my lineup... so I'm making a new Janky Rig of Doom.

Jam night janxperiment: Crown MicroTech 600 driving a Hartke 410XL and the low side of a Peavey SP5ti. Preamp was a Joyo British Sound for awhile, then a bass patch I made in a Zoom G1Xfour. No trouble hearing myself, but I like either cabinet by itself better than both together.
Even the Peavey, which despite being a PA speaker does a fun mid-focused kind of grindy thing.
