Box Design Question

[Jmoney2544]

Im Planning On Putting 2 15" AQ HDC3's In a 8 Cube Box (After Displacements) Facing The Rear Of My Trunk In My Sedan.

The Only way i can properly give the subs enough port area is to put aeroports on the top of my box... (aeroports inside box)

Aeroprts will be 3" wide and im doing 8 of them (12" long). 36 hz tuning

Box is 17" high

Will this design work fine? I have about 3" clearance from the top of the box to my trunk roof.

It would work. I dont think its the best though. But do what you can.

will it sound different than if i put a slot port?

Either will do. I like slot ports better. But if you dont have the room you dont have the room.

I was thinking more like the ports are really close to the trunk lid and might flow weird.

slot ports are always easier to fit than aero ports. how much space from port to bottom of the box? how tall is your box? what size ports? what tuning?

thats what i was worried about but someone at Audioque said i could put 6" if i wanted because he said the rule of thumb for aeroports is 1/2 the diameter you need for clearence.

I would have about 5 inches from bottom of port to bottom of box since there going to be 12" long. Box id 17" tall, Roof in trunk is 20" Tall. ports are 3" and im doing about 8 of them. 36 hz
