  1. Okay quick background, i have a brz 1700 and a pair of skar vvx 10s.

    Well here's my problem, about a week into having my new system installed they just stopped working, I pull the subs out and see the wires burnt to a crisp; thinking it was a fluke i just rewired them and re-installed it (dumb, i know). It's been a few weeks since then and now have the same problem again, so I really need to figure out what I did wrong.

    That is where they are burning, any tips on how I can fix this is greatly appreciated, thanks.

  2. I would not do a single 4" with a square 12" sub, unless the port has a good flare or you are not running much power.

    As far as placement, I do ports on opposite sides and have never had a problem. There will be some who disagree.

    If one side is sealed off from the other side (like tight fit in a trunk), it may have a screwed up frequency response, but no worse than running the port of a standard ported box through the rear deck. If it is just a box in a trunk that the sound can pass around, should be ok.

    How about two 4" aero ports? for two square subs, 1200watts

  3. But that is not correct. . .It does not depend on box size at all. Those are just approximations so people are not constantly asking how much port area they need, since the true mount of port area required for a port to operate correctly without compression is almost never achieved in a vehicle.

    If I have a BTL 18 on 4000 watts tuned to 35 Hz in 6 cuft vs 10 cuft, I do not need a different size port.

    If I have a BTL 18 on 2000 watts vs 4000 watts in the same 10 cuft, they do not require the same amount of port area.

    Port size is correctly determined by cone displacement and tuning frequency. . .

    So you think you can help me out with what I need?

  4. That rule is mostly for slot ports, aeroport are more efficient, a round port needs about 9-13 SQ of port per cubic feet, said that, that´s why i would use minimun 3 4" ports, besides that, where do you get 56 SQ of port with a single 4" tube?????

    pi x ®2

    3.1416 x (2)2

    3.1416 x 4 = 12.57 square inches!!

    3 4" ports would be 37 square inches

    Simple basic maths...

    because the tube is 4.5" long as well.

  5. This is starting to confuse me, because I thought that it was about square inches of the port for how much cubic feet I have. And based on that I need Roughly 64 square inches for 30hz in a 4c/f box. So, by having a 4" tube that is 4.5" long, I'm at about 56 square inches, which gives me 33.8 hz

    and i'm at 1200 watts power rms btw
