FroznBeavrBALLs Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 which is better? just trying to design a box and was thinking of using a 4" aero port vs. a slot port, which was my first design(s). or does it really not matter?

01VWGREENMACHINE Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 slot ports are cheaper.

FroznBeavrBALLs Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 where is the best place to buy aero ports? i think im going with one because it means less box that i have to build and i dont have tons of trunk space. lol.

REMT15 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 less port noise with aero? you got it backwards lol. slot port is alot easier to deal with, cheaper, and sounds cleaner. but each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham0599 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 You can get s sonotube/concrete form at home depot or lowes for like $15. Just make sure you have enough port area.

Bluliner Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 less port noise with aero? you got it backwards lol. slot port is alot easier to deal with, cheaper, and sounds cleaner. but each their own. Slot port boxes are larger b/c the port displaces more internal volume. And if a slot port is greater than a 4:1 (meaning 4" high and 1" wide) ratio, you lose output. Aeroports are cheap & easy, especially if you want a smaller overall footprint for your enclosure. Box dimensions aside; slot ports can be made to sound better than aeroports so long as the ratio is less than 4:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroznBeavrBALLs Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 well i think if u do a tube port then you have some bad port noise. ive heard it myself. but aero ports are made to reduce port noise. I've always only worked with slot ports so i wanted to try aero ports this time. this is for a daily driver and im not all that experienced. but would i be able to here the difference between aero and slot? is it that big of a deal that i should just not use aero at all? i know steve uses them...

Supercharged DCs Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I like my aeroports, but as far as I can tell there isn't a difference in sound between them and slot ports. That's not to say there isn't a difference, just that in my application I don't hear one... I do like them for their ease of use though Quote Bassless once again.

FroznBeavrBALLs Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 yeah i think thats why i wanna use them. plus i want to run it through my back deck of my Nissan sentra. to shoot the air strait into the cab. plus when i have to put my seats up its still gonna be pushing almost all of the air into the cab instead of dampening it.
