Matthew Williams Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Posted January 1, 2016 What car do you have? Why are you wanting an 18" sub? What do you mean others fit 4-12a in theirs? Do you mean the same car as yours? Are you sure know what they're doing? Just because it fits, doesn't mean it works. I have to say I spoke out of turn lol It is a 2013 Ford focus Hatchback. And I wanted it to hit the lows real hard. I can fit 2 12s but I always prefer dealing with one woofer.
CleanSierra Posted January 1, 2016 Report Posted January 1, 2016 We have a local guy with an '03 Focus hatch and he shoehorned a Soundqubed HDC4 in there. He barely had room and would have been better off using 2 12s. Fitting an 18" in that car is a tight squeeze to give it enough airspace. 2 12s in a proper box will outperform an 18 in a not-so-ideal box Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

I of course have went through this with Joe X but I was just trying figure things out with the aeroport. Does it save space? Waste space? take a lot of space?
CleanSierra Posted January 1, 2016 Report Posted January 1, 2016 2-12s it's more cone area than a single 15" sub. You should have enough room to make 2-12s work properly. Why short yourself on useable space if you can fit the 2 woofer option? Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

I forgot to mention, the HDC4 that he has is an 18" sub. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
Matthew Williams Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Posted January 1, 2016 It was mostly cost. Although a 2 12in project would be fun Still just REALLY curious about that aero port
CleanSierra Posted January 1, 2016 Report Posted January 1, 2016 Bill Lolo makes a Badass port dude. It hurts the wallet a bit, but they are great quality and they perform. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
Matthew Williams Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Posted January 1, 2016 I have never heard a port enclosure and I really want too. I want to hear, see and know the difference between it and the Slot style
CleanSierra Posted January 1, 2016 Report Posted January 1, 2016 You might not need a psychoport at all dude. Precision aero ports might be completely fine for your application. Are you saying you've never heard a ported enclosure at all? Or you've never heard an enclosure using an aero or psychoport? If you have proper port area with a slot port, it will perform just fine. The pysychoport can really shine to help guys keep impedance rise to a minimum from a very efficient vent. Don't take this the wrong way but you may be in over your head. Guys benefit from round, flared ports to keep that impedance rise down and squeeze more power from their amps. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
Matthew Williams Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Posted January 1, 2016 Its sad that you have to tell me not to take it the wrong way. I come here looking for all the advice I can and I am never disappointed. I have never heard it man lol And I am in Fayetteville area and I feel like there are no real car audiophiles here.
