bassrace Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Aeroports are more efficient from my understanding. And usually more space friendly, just a little harder on the wallet.

skittlesRgood Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 from my experience, aero ports are louder and slot ports sound better. but thats only because of a few limits of the aero port. they only come 17" long. so if you want a lot of port area, the ports cant be long enough to be able to tune low. so with the higher tuning you lose low end output. a slot port can be as big and long as you want it to be. they are just not as efficient. thats a fairly general explanation but its the guideline i personally follow. you could go with less aero port area and tune lower but lose output from having a small port. or you could make your own aero ports as long as you want.

If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Blackedout Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Neither is better than the other IMO. But they do have their uses. In a situation where airspace is limited, slot ports displace more box volume. In a situation where space is limited, aero ports are definitely nice. I've heard aeroport boxes that sound fantastic and just the same slot port boxes that sound fantastic. You can tune low with aeros, but not much lower if any than 30 hertz given the length constraints of 17" like skittles said.

SnowDrifter Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Don't forget that it is SUPER easy to retune the box with an aero port.
