lowrider77 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 would 4 or 5 6" aeroports be enough port area for 2 18" fi sp4 18" subs power by a dd m4 (5000watt rms) in about 14 cu ft box?
Triticum Agricolam Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 IMHO, no, four or five is not enough. I'd use six at least and seven 6" ports would be better.

Joe X Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 At that point a slot port would likely be a better option if you have the space.
Inetba Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 My head is trying to wrap itself around seven 6" ports. At that point you almost have more port area than sub area. How can you tell when you've reached the point that a slot port is better than a round port?
Joe X Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Meaning only that is impractical to have six or seven pipes long enough that will probably have to bend inside the box each needing bracing.

How can you tell when you've reached the point that a slot port is better than a round port? It's not as much port area as you would think. A 6" port has 28.25 sq in of area, so seven * 28.25 = 197.75. Two 18" subs have around 375 sq in of cone area. If you look at manufacturer's recommendations on port area for 18"s it's usually around 100 sq in each.

lowrider77 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Posted July 4, 2015 the design i have in my mind would work better with aero ports rather than slot port thats why i was asking about it or would there be another size aeroport work better?
lowrider77 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Posted July 5, 2015 im thinking im goin to use 4 8" ports that equalls 201 sq in of port
Triticum Agricolam Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 im thinking im goin to use 4 8" ports that equalls 201 sq in of port That should work well.
