Round Port Vs. Slot Port?


Recommended Posts

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

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.

You don't need as much port area when using aero ports.

Round port take up less air space.
