How does my design look & 45s in an aero port.

Here's my box design so far for a SoundQubed HDC3 18"

Box Specs:

20.75H x 35W x 21.5D.

Displacements used are .23 (Sub) and .05 (Dowel rod).

5.95 Cubic Feet @ 30.26 (Cubic feet might be slightly higher due to window).

This also takes into account 3 baffles and port outside of the box.

Port Specs:

19" total length
7.920" Inside diameter
.240" thickness, PVC
12" outside flare diameter
49.24 square inches port area.

Still deciding on an amplifier, should be anywhere from 1750-2250W. 1/0 OFC Big Three. 150 amp stock alt. XS Power battery to come later.

I still might go slightly larger on the box, every 1" wider gives it .20 cubic feet to net.

I know people use 45s in slot ports to smooth out air flow but should they be used in aero port boxes?

If so should I just use a 45 for the corner next to the port or all 4 corners?

Thanks guys!

Power needs to be known before a proper design can be done. As for the 45s, i wouldnt worry with them in this instance.

Lets say middle of the road then right at 2k. Do you think 6.15 cubic feet (add an inch to width) would be a good size?

45s aren't worth the effort. They are really only needed to keep the width the same in a slot ported design in the corners.

Well to start with, i would not run 2k to this sub, as that exceeds manufacturers specifications. Manufacturer specifications are what they are for a reason.
