H 2 the eigel Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Pretty straight foward... Go with a slot port or a round port... If this is too hard of a question because of how many factors there are then try to tell me the pro's and con's of each. Heigel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) hmm, basics: slot port is easier to build slot port adds strength slot port has a higher tendancy for turbulence since it uses 90degree corners slot port is cheaper round port if flared are more efficient round port costs more to make round ports are a bitch sometimes to mount, as they need support internally so they dont move round ports are not the same as aeroports in small boxes round ports sometimes need to utilize curves, which if u arent handy, can be a pain also aeroports>slot>round IMO i could have added alot more Edited March 11, 2009 by decafcappucino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewer_brewer Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 the one thing i like about round ports is that you can make them as long as possible in the box and then cut them down to tune them to ear (frequency of the vehicle) fairly easy.

banginAltima Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 You don't need as much port area when using aero ports. Round port take up less air space.

slugdub Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I think round ports are easier myself. Build the box then play around with the port length to your liking, as stated. I want to do this actually and, to me, the L ports are going to be a bit tricker and non-adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
