SnowDrifter Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Tried emailing the company. Whoever handled my response doesn't know. I got an answer saying 2" between the port and the back of the box. Another saying no idea, then telling me the rule of thumb of port width. Well since there's a 9" flare on these, does it need 6" or 9" of space to breathe? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I heard half the width even with aeros. Guess that doesn't help you at all does it?

Jessica Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Think about this. Since it is round the do you measure the distance on the left, top, right or bottom. I mean 3" clearance on one side but you have 3" on both side or all the way around. So how does that even compute really? Just more things to think about I guess Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside. My super random youtube channel and terrible camera work.

baron_of_bass Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Rule of thumb is the width of the port. Id say 6 inches Team Bass-Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAYER1805 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I was told the clearance needed for an aero needs to match the width of the port. Don't know if it's true or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Rule of thumb is the width of the port. Id say 6 inches But you are suppose to count half the radius of the flare as part of port length. So do you measure width there too?

mothra Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 your port should be anything above the radius of the port but no less than the radius of the port. if it's the radius of the port than it may change the tuning frequency of your enclosure. for a 6" aero port i'd keep it at least 4" away from the nearest wall. I use aeroports a ton and always keep them actual port diameter away from wall, so for a 4" aero I keep it 4" away from wall. next box with aero's is 12 cubes with 3 6" aeroports in a box that's interior is 22" deep leaving me roughly 5" away from back wall. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you measure width there too?Think about when people round over square ports in a way they're flared too. I'm not 100% positive on this, but I'd say to be safe, have a minimum of 6 inches between port and where it's going to unload off of.

Jessica Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Well is it radius or diameter(width)? Different opinions in here I see Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside. My super random youtube channel and terrible camera work.
