Sounded **** good for being tuned to low 50s

Cant wait to hear it with the correct ports in

going from 55-56hz to 43hz will be a nice change, I cant wait to hear the difference either.

Nice.

thanks once the tuning is fixed, alt is on, and D .7 recones are it, it should be even more impressive.

6" aeros, with about 6" clearance from the box, they are being changed though as my tuning is a bit too high.

I thought it was four 4" aero. Now it makes sense why you're tuned so high. You have two options. Make ports longer to about 3" off the bottom or plug one port and go to three 6" aeros. Plug one up for now to see how well it works and then later make a new baffle for the three. Four 6" aero is 112 si which is a lot for size of your box. To give you an idea our box is using 71si with the single 10" tuned to 44hz. So with three 6" at 84si of port area would probably be a lot better. I'm sure you already though of this but I just wanted to try and give some suggestions.

I appreciate it Jeff. I have thought about it, but unsure of how to make a port plug that would correctly seal it off, I will try that though and see what happens.

I got slot ports being made tonight along with the front logo, should have it ready for Madison show.

A couple ways you can do it. If the port is mounted to mdf you can make a mdf cover plate and as long as it's perfectly flush with the wood it'll seal perfect. Other option that is really easy to do quickly to see if it sounds better/louder by ear is just roll up and stuff a towel in it very tightly. You'll know right away by ear if it helped or not. And don't give up on the aeroports. They just need to be tuned. Good luck with weekend.

Thanks, I always appreciate the help, due to short time and little equipment I will try the towel trick. Its worth a shot at least. I measured what I will need to to do for my aeros to get them to the right tuning roughly. Right now they are only like 10" total, I need them to be about 14" which only leaves about 3.25" from the bottom of the box though, which is what worries me. So we shall see, hope to see you at Madison or Oshkosh

Nerf football or rubber playground ball should make a nice port plug...
