MRLOVETHATBASS Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Since im shrinking my box from 10 cubes to 8.5 do i still need both 8 " aero ports I had two 8" aero ports in a box that was 9.83 to 10 cubes net but now im shrinking my box to 8 to 8.5 cubic ft net. Can i get away with only using one 8" aero port. I seen a guy who had a box that was like 9 cubes net with four sundown niteshade 12s on about 8k and it was nasty loud. so im wondering since im going to 8-8.5 roughly on the same power this should work rite????

fecupe2001 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Port area depends on a lot of factors, not only the box size, but mostly on the sub, what subs are you gonna use?

I talk to the owner of sundown and he said put them in a box about 8.35 net after displacements with the power i have. They recommend 4 cubes per driver for 18s.

fecupe2001 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yes, i´m familiar with sundown, they definitely play better on a smaller box wich is great!! Like i said, box can definitely wor better on a smaller space, but port should stay almost the same, remember, port size depends mostly on the sub, single 8" is definitely way too small for a pair of zv3´s if you ask me, what did jacob told you??? what tuning do you want? i wouldn´t go ANY smaller than 3 6" aeros, and it´s still a small port area for that pair of subs man, do you like the lows that badly or something? if you keep the same 8´s your tuning frequency should raise about 3 hz by shrinking the box from 10 to 8.5 cubic feet, take that in mind... P.S: you can always get those 8´s longer... Quote I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.
