Aeroport or ported box for 18" mayhem

[Marquisboys]

Stuck on what i should do for a box. Either a nice ported box or do and aeroport. Not sure how aeroports sound and if they play a variety of hz.. I dont want a burp box. If i can do an aeroport the aeroport will be sealed off in the vehicle going through the armrest of the back seat while the box and sub remain in the trunk. I would have the sub facing towards the rear of the car.

Do aeroports sound good with music?

Would the the mayhem benefit more from an aeroport or just a nice ported box?

Slot port or Aero will both play just as well if designed properly. As far as sealing off and just having the port in the cabin, it seams like you would lose half of your bass if the sub is sealed off in the trunk.What are your max dimensions?

if i were to do an aeroport max dimensions would be about 23h 38w 27d

So here is a suggestion for a slot ported box, power: to subs rated, amp subsonic filter to 28Hz, port clearance 5", figure is just an assembly guide:

NOTE: If building outside you need to build a cardboard dummy box to test fit in it's way inside.

Cutsheet is for a standard slot port like this:

if you want to do a higher efficiency port as shown in the figure, let me know.

If you want to push that much power, make sure you have the electrical to back it up and set your gains properly.

Awesome that looks good. What ever tuning and box size the mayhem can work best with is what i would want. It has around 3800 rms going to it also

Well back to this again... Ugh i think im just going to do a 4th order in my trunk.

Max dimensions 40.5 wide 24" tall 20 ish deep. Thinking a 10" port that shoots right in between the back seat arm rest.

I need help this is my first 4th order i would build.

Is this enough space for the 18" mayhem for a 4th order. And since i have the port shooting into the vehicle how would i face the sub in the box?
