delvry u think i should give it a shot anyway?

For the record, aeroports do not magically flow more air than their 'normal' round counterparts. A 6" diameter tube will only flow so much air at a given velocity, simple physics. But what an aeroport will do is decrease audible port noise due to turbulence, meaning you can run less port area without concerns of port noise factoring in.

Were the two inverted subs in the middle an after-thought?

Removing the screws and taking a roundover bit to the edges would have went a long way with that box. That box could look really nice.

well... the a round tube flows better than a square one.. and the flares smooth out airflow as well as increase volicity.

but slot ports can be flared too with benefits on the meter //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

so say (4) 12's in a 10^3 box as 32hz, aeroports or slot port? for the best possible sound?

you right it could have but setup didnt even stay in my truck long enough

The flares do not increase air velocity at all. They merely reduce turbulence, as I already said. Flaring a slot port will have a similar effect, although much less important because little air flow resides in the outer edges/corners of a square-port design.

When built properly, either would give the same 'sound'. Aeroports will allow you to use less port area though, keeping your box size to a minimum. That's really an aeroport's main advantage over slot ports.

really?

i swear one of my professors said otherwise...

why do you think people put stepped tube headers or megaphone exhausts on their race motors? to increase exhaust velocity.

I think step headers have something to do with back presure not increased air flow.

increased exhaust velocity= less backpressure.

The speaker is moving the same amount whether the port is flared or not, creating the same pressure difference in the box, creating the same airflow through the same diameter port. The only change is the turbulence exhibited.
A 6" tube in a box will allow the same amount of air flow through it whether the ends are sharp, or flared ends.

We are not discussing engine exhaust systems.
