Dumb aero port question

[CleanSierra]

Here is one of the dumbest question I'll ever ask, and I'm pretty sure I already know the answer. Anyway, I don't mess around with aero ports ever, and was curious when entering the port dimensions into Torres, when I enter let's say, 16 inches. If I have 2 entered into the number of ports field, does that mean I only need 16 inches TOTAL length, or 16 each? Sorry for a dumb question, but I'm assuming it's total length so when I use 2 ports, the length is cut in half.

It means 2 ports 16in each

2 16 in ports is what it means

hmmm... and I would assume its the other way around because it knows you are using two ports. But I dont know and ca give you a definitive answer either.

ninja'd but looks like i had the right idea .

i never screw around with aeroports either. but i would think it accounts for having 2 ports wouldn't it? so it would adjust tuning accordingly? so both have the same length. you are just adding port area, the length would have to be longer on a singlw port if adding port area to achieve same tuning.

Obviously the tuning has to be adjusted when using 1 vs 2. The port area per foot is achievable in the current box I want to build with 2 aeros. I will just take this information that I have 2 ports, the length that the calculator says. For example Port #: 2 Port Length: 18 This means I will make two ports 2"X18". Also, I'm not using precision aeros, I know they have a length of 17 inches. I'm planning to do 2 3" PVC with routered port entrance.

that should work. goodluck with it and take some pics and let us know how it goes. cool thing about aeros is that it is easy to adjust tuning. just screw it out and make new port or whatever. so you dont have to build a whole new box.

I'll take pics. The only reason for making the box with aeros, is because I've got a couple 10s I wanna do a push/pull isobaric setup in. I'll invert the one sub to fit ass out between my bucket seats in my truck. I know output won't be crazy, but frequency response and FLAT response should be nice.

that will be cool. make a mini log or some pics!!

if you put 20", each port is 20". but thats already been said lol
