It may respond differently by building more internal pressure with 4 4" ports opposed to a single 8". Usually higher frequencies will play better with a larger port and lower freq's will do better with a smaller size port. Myself, for a daily opperation I use 4" ports. I happen to have 6 4" ports in my daily box, but have got decent spl results at a higher freq with 8" ports.

4 4" will have to be longer (~20" vs. ~17" for a 35 Hz tuning), but the 1 8" will need more clearance inside the box.

Either one will work.

Im lookin for some help with aeros too, dont mean to thread jack but it might be useful here too.

How much clearance do u need from the SIDE walls to the inner flare? i know u need at least the diameter in front but what about the sides. Also will NOT using the inner flare make a great deal on the box performanace? How the hell do u guys fit the big ass flares on the inside... im only workin with like 1.25- 1.5 cubes its tough, would like to run 2 3" aeros for my 10 rather than 1 4".

that small of a box and aeros i wouldnt think flaring even be worth it? and why not just do 1 4in aero thats plently for almost 1.25-1.5cu. the less amount of ports you use for the same port area the better your off overall for SQ and SPL anyone can input on that.
