zfrerichs Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Alright i am a newbie to flared port id like to know if 2 4" ports will have similar results to a single 8" aero? according to carstereo.com 2 4" would need 15 or so inches and a single 8" aero would need to be 28" long box being 4.5 cubes tuned to 28-29 hz box is for a single 18 t3 tsns on a sundown 3500 at 0.7 at 19v also would a 90 degree turn affect port performance? like a pipe fitting Quote Roseville, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritosaregood Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) you know area doesnt add like that dont you.. 2 fours is more equal to a 6" port if you do bend it. i would get to fittin that is about a 4 inch radius bend not the real tight bend. there are names for them at lowes but i dont remember what it is also. i dont know if its right, but i usually do 8 to 12 sq in of port per cube of volume with the flared round ports, edit. isnt that box kinda small for an 18?

skittlesRgood Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 well 1st off you wont find any pipe fittings that will fit flared ports. unless you make your own ports. two 4" flared ports will not be the same as 1 8". it would be closer to one 6". my box is 5 cubes with two 6" flared ports. now i know you want to be loud so i would go bigger than those two 4" ports. maybe 4 of them. i hear the larger ports work better but ive never done testing. look at psp-inc.com, they have a very simple calculator for their ports.
