01 S-10 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I want to try my first aeroport box but can't decide what is enough port area. Before anyone says it YES I have done research before I made this but I want more opinions. This will not be made for numbers just daily beating with the ability to sound good with a wide range of music. I was thinking 7 cubic feet net, 2 6" ports tuned to 34-35 hz. Any opinions? Equipment is 2 Audioque HDC3 15s and a Lanzar opti 6k Quote TDH FTW !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy95 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 If they are flared, they are more efficient than tubes, which are still more efficient than slot ports, 2 6s should be fine. Remember, there are rule of thumb for sq in of port but truly you need to base it off of cone area and displacement. I used 3 4in for 1 15 and it did great. I might go with 3 6s if you could make it work, but I think 2 6s will do.

LongHairDontCare Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 based on the PSP aeroport calc, both of those aero's would need to be ~15 inches long (including flare) in order to result in a 34 hz tuning. ps. aeros sound MUCH better than slot ports IMO (if done right) Quote GeekSquad Lead Autotech MECP Advanced Certified Installer 2016 Ford Mustang S550Stock system for now..

Nightshade Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Honestly not enough port area in my opinion. With 2 6's and 7 cubes your looking at 8.07sqin per cuft. My box that I run the equiptment in my sig is at a ratio of 11.59sqin per cuft and plays anything from 30-60hz loud and clean. If you want my honest opinion I'd do 6 4" ports in your setup as well. Iirc the aeros at partsexpress are $12.50 each when you buy 4 or more so that's $75 for all 6. Where as the 6" ports are $38 each, so $76 for two of them as well. I'm very sure that the 4" ports are going to be louder and I actually did a box in my car setup that way for 2 15's. I ran 2 Nightshade 15's in 7.2 cubes after displacement. Then used the 6 4" aeros tuning the box to 37hz. They were powered by a pair of Sundown saz3500's, and did a best score in that box of a 153.1 on the dash sealed at 42hz. This was my daily box for the longest time and I still have it sitting in my garage portless. I have some pics of it if you wanna see. I did happen to run it different then most anyone that I've seen but this was the loudest way, which was subs firing back at the hatch with the ports firing up at the roof.

Punkeyboozter Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 what do you guys think will work for a 18 in a 5-6 CBF box tuned to around 32hz daily pounder Quote Loudness is no substitute for musicianship, and partial deafness is no badge of honor. I was once able to hear this advice. Build Log>>> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...pid=672024& New Build Believe in the order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great info, I would love to see a pic of that box with the 6 4" ports. My box will be going in an 01 S-10 extended cab, subs and ports facing up. Did you use any 45s in your box? I actually already have 3 4" kits that I got from Parts Express a couple of years ago and never used so I would only need 3 more Quote TDH FTW !!!

I tried sub up port firing to the passenger side but haven't tried firing to the driver side Quote TDH FTW !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
