aero ports in a wall?

[orangecounty1 10+ year member]

due to the complexity of the sides of my box, its going to be kind of hard to build a slot port on the top of the box.

i was thinking, instead of a slot port, should i do like 4 6" aero's? (or whatever i need to get the right amount of port area)

which leads me to my questions.

-if you have 200 (example) sq in of port area, with a slot port, if you switch to aeros, do you still need a ton of aero's to get 200 sq in? or does less aeros equal out to the larger port area of a slot port?

-aero ports in a wall. how will this work? i know one con is i dont get the natural bracing a slot port would provide, but ill deal with that, and add some extra bracing.

-difference in sound? spl? numbers?

I think Aero's do sound better, and they will get louder, as there is less interference.

aeros are expensive unless you DIY

hows you get that? isnt area of a circle pie times radius^2. that would be 3.14 so on times 2^2.......which gives me about 12.57

PVC sounds good too, and it does the job, you can make yur own aeros too

My PVC ports work great.. I mean L brackets and caulk aren't that attractive, but they were free, and work well.
