You don’t have to get optimal port area it’s just a recommendation to help you decide Thanks for tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredder2 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 I'd watch volume resizing the port, its going to change a bit unless you redo the enclosure, if you don't redo it it'll sure decrease volume unless its partially external. If the volume shrinks I'd lean towards the lower range of port I stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave the explanation to others... an aero is more efficient yes. If you use an Aero I'd go with an 8" or dual 6" with actual flares. My explanation might be beyond my disabled ability to type. A slot needs more area due to the overall amount of wall surface contacting the airflow... hence the port size. With an Aero basically you can get by with less area due to the actual walls contacting the airflow being less with a round, add flares and it increases efficiency even more by smoothing the laminar airflow entering and exiting the port. Jeez... I hate typing on this phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
