Feedback? Four 4 inch aero ports be ok for 10-11 cubes after displacement?

I was thinking about a slot port, but was leaning towards aero's since I've read they're more efficient and possibly increase spl. If I go with a slot I have to get another sheet of mdf just for the port, which kinda sucks

Another question, when I calculate port displacement do I just count the displacement of the wood or do I also include the space in the port? Idk if anyone understands what I'm asking, kinda hard to word.

For wall builds a large slot port is usually the most successful way to build.. Also for 2 18s 4 4" aeros is not much port area at all. If you choose to stick with aeros I'd suggest like 3 6" aeros or 2 8", hell for my 2 15s I run a single 10" one but that's in a regular enclosure.

For wall builds aeros usually don't work as well as you would expect.
