Dual 4" aero ports or a single 6"?


Recommended Posts

I'm in the planning stage of my new box build and was planning on going with a single 6" aero port but I noticed if I went with dual 4" aero's I could save a few bucks....$26 for dual 4" or $40 for the 6"

Is there any reason I should not go for the dual 4" ports?

Just a FYI, box is for a pair of SA-12's powered by an SAZ-1500 in the trunk of my Monte Carlo.

What ya think?

4 4s or 2 6s gets my vote.

4 4s or 2 6s would be too much for a pair of sa12s

should go with a single 6

this is my aero box:

prolly one of the more effecient boxes i built for my sa12s at about 4.5 cubes after displacments

Honestly, dual 6's. I have a single 6 for my 2 12" mayhems and I'm going to drop in my other 6.

Mayhem=/= SA 12

The SA 12 will be good with 1 6 inch port, or 2 4's. Maybe even 3 4's if you can but since you want to go the cheaper route, 2 4's will be enough.

1 single 6 inch is more efficient then 2 4's, but it's only in tenths of dB.

Thinking is the root of all problems...

You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

Im not willing to save a few bucks if its gonna cost performance. Im just wondering if either would be more efficient than the other? Is it possible to have too much port?

Also, I dont have any rear deck speakers, allowing more bass into the cabin with the seats up. If I built a box w/ the port firing out to the side and installed a beauty board the 6x9 openings would be blocked off, would adding a couple vents in the board be good enough to allow that pressure into the cabin or would there be a drop off due to the board?

I'd be all for it if it would sound good, I'm worried about the soundwaves being horribly out of phase. Am I trippin'?
