DAN831111 Posted July 19, 2024 Report Posted July 19, 2024 Ok so my box is 2.9 cubes after displacement of Alpine Type R Gen1 15 and 2 x 4 inch Aeroports tuned to 34hz. Is 2 x 4 inch Aeroports enough? As I will be making them out PVC pipe im limited in diameter choices, its 4 inch or 2 inch PVC pipe. will 2 x 4 inch be enough and not cause chuffing? Also I will be using the same box for my Phoenix Gold Ti215D4 15" woofer (not sure of displacement, cant find on internet, but it would be a bit less than the Alpine R 15), will the 2 x 4" aeroports be enough for this sub also or do i need to go with a 3rd 4" aero and if so how would this affect it when i put the alpine sub back in? Maybe Triticum Agricolam can chime in if hes still on here? Anybody who knows though pls reply. Cheers.
Joe X Posted July 20, 2024 Report Posted July 20, 2024 Those are entry level subs and will work on a single 6" port, flared if possible. Better than two 4"s which combined port area is less than one 6".
DAN831111 Posted July 24, 2024 Author Report Posted July 24, 2024 cheers for the reply Joe X, I end up going with 2 x 4" (one on either side, with the slightly higher one on the driver side) so I can even out the boom, i found having the ports on one side (in my old box) made it heaps louder on one side of the car, drives me nuts (feels lop-sided). Chatgpt, did port noise checking with SD & Xmax.
Joe X Posted August 2, 2024 Report Posted August 2, 2024 SD x Xmax only gives you the volume displaced, you can't calculate port airspeed from those two alone, you need to calculate volume velocity which is a complex function dependent on frequency and the operating conditions of the driver that include signal, power, the box itself + others, that's why you use modeling software, do not rely too much on chatgpt which still is a stone age form of AI, it is very possible that AI will kill us all but not just yet.
