Is My Port Too Small?


Recommended Posts

Yes IF you were able to properly give the 15s enough port.. But since you cant the 12s will be louder because they are getting the port and air space needed.. the 15s would be suffocating...

oh and im not the smartest man here so pls take other ppls post into consideration.

those t1's only need about 6 cubes so depending on your dimensions i think you could make it work i would do a slot port down one side instead of the port in the middle just because it does save room for port area and for the subs. if you have some max dimensions for your trunk i could make a design that would work with proper port area around 100in or so

You don't NEED another battery or alternator for level 4s. You can run as much power to them as you want. There is no such thing as under powering a sub. Being smart about it is what counts.

Under power is that kills 45% of most subs. Over power kills about 35%. No break-in kill the rest. And this is on a professional install.

I bet you run Realistic subs or Craig. You can under power them. Not a real sub.

It works 60% of the time all the time. :D

OP, consider aeroports as it will allow you to save some space in your box. I say consider as you may be louder with the port facing back but you may not have enough room for the length of an aeroport facing back so technically a slot port would be better as it can be bent easier in the box to keep your port facing back and keep tuning.
