Dub7Banger Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 You don't need that much port area when using aeros...You will be fine with 8-10" of port area per cube with true aeros. I don't think they'll be true aero's considering i'm just gonna grab a 12 foot section of 6" PVC pipe, and cut three lengths. Is too much port area a problem dealing with Aeros?

Don't think about it, just do it. It'll work. go to lowes get bricks wait in yard. throw said brick at vehicle. If thats me and that just happened to me Im going looking for him after that. 1. Goto lowes 2. Get some bricks 3. ??? 4. PROFIT!! Profit from everything. LOVE ideas like this. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is too much port area a problem dealing with Aeros? Why not just calculate for flared aeros. If they still need to be longer that the 17" or whatever they come in, you can always put the flares on the ends of pvc pipe and boom, longer aero. It will free up some room in the box for you.

Space isn't really the issue, the issue was getting it to the right tuning, with sufficient port area. I'm shooting for 5.5 cubes after all displacement. And I hate to say it, but once I get this all in and banging, I doubt i'll be doing too much extra work. With me being as new to CA as I am I doubt i'll notice a difference between a flared port and just straight PVC. But back to a previous question, Would it sound right if I run the three aforementioned aero's through my back seat into the cabin? With 15 or so inches of protruding port I doubt i'll have issue getting them all the way through the seat.

Some people have done it with success I believe, I don't have any experience with it though. Or much experience with trunk cars at all for that matter lol.

bassl0va Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 What about running them through the rear deck? That would be better than cutting hole in your seats. Also, what thickness wood are you using?

Also, what thickness wood are you using? I'll be using 3/4 all around, but double up for the baffle. And I can't go up through the rear deck without having to put elbows somewhere and I don't really know how to put those in the equation.

bassl0va Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Make sure you put some pretty good bracing in it, you'll need it with the lvl 5. If you put elbows in then you just measure the length down the center of the port. The great thing is that if you run the ports through the seat or rear deck then most of the port isn't in the box which means that it should be easier to get the right tuning and have sufficient port area.

Yup yup, that's the idea. I'mma use a whole 12' 2x3 in any way I can. Wanna see how it's all gonna work out with the port and woofer placement.
