How far should an aero port be from back wall?


Recommended Posts

How far should an aero port be from the back wall of an enclosure? Would this be the same rule of thumb as a slot ported box, distance = width of the port?

Ive been looking at going aero ported to save a little net size compared to L-Slot ported boxes..

Thanks

1/2 the diameter of the port at a minimum. So for a 6" aero, 3 inches from the wall minimum.

Would there be a noticeable difference if for example with that 6" aero i had 4-5" away from the wall instead of 3"?

thanks!

It is the minimum distance, not max. More is better. . .

If I was using a 6" aero, I would stay 5-6" from the back wall.
