what happened to this:

Three 3" ports is easiest.

two 4" ports would need elbow joints because they are so long.

So three 3" ports is still valid, we were just discussing other options.

so, will i loose output by going with aeros VS slot? i love how mine is now.

If the new box is not so big that it chokes off the cabin worse, you should see a lot more

output assuming your doubling the power. More if you keep the power the same too.

The vent mach is very similar to what you have.

i'm doubling both cone and power. i was just curious if aeros will not be as "loud" as a slot with the same area. i guess you are sying it should be the same. which is what i wanted to hear.

It could be even better if you had the space to do more port area.

i wish i had more space. but i want to be able to use my car for other than stereo.

Here is one idea.
.75" mdf

16"h X 35"w X 17.75"d

three 3" (inside diameter) areo ports 13.4" deep each

4 cubes net tuned to 30hz

Definitely not an optimal box and I would not try anything smaller than this.

Ports and woofers aimed back, or ports back woofers up (assuming the woofers have

excursion clearance).

If we tune higher we can use two 4" areo's but at 30hz they are to long.

anyone have time to draw this up where i can use it to build? i'll give it a shot.

Looks like you might have to sacrifice something. You could always run those port up into the rear deck just put an elbow in em. Box face in cab, as wide as possible then let it go back as far as needed and double baffle the back trunk side and mount your amps on it. As for you seats, put a 1/4 inch panel on it to help resonate the bass. I think that would sound awesome and I think I just might do that myself for my new box design.

i'm not following...

whats wrong with it the way we have it now? (subs/port toward cabin) and what do you mean by the panel on the seats? my seats fold down so i don't think thats a problem

as for doubling the back, no need. i have a different route for that.

BTW, there is a new thread, since this one got worn out (HERE)
