Aeroports or slots?

not sure on your car. but when i had mine set subs up ports side it was louder. but that was in a hatchback. sound reflected off the window and up to the front. not sure what you drive.

and if you really want to go aero, you will have to have an "L" port for dual chamber enclosure

well the 6" aero is $40 so i might just go slot for now lol. its louder with subs and port firing back but I've never tried port firing side.

How much room total do you have for the width? I know 35" is for the box, but for you have like 38", 40"? You need to make sure that your port isn't too close to one of the walls.

If you have the room you could do this....

35(w)x18(d)x13(h) with (2) 4" aeros, subs back ports side. It should be just about 3.0ft^3 after sub and port displacement and bracing...

internal dimensions: 33.5*11.5*16.5= 6356.625 / 1728 = 3.678 internal volume

Sub displacement: 0.14 x 2= 0.28 (2 Subs)

Port displacement: 0.168 x 2 = 0.336 (2 4" ports @ 23.16" long)

Bracing: .034 and .05 = .084 (2x4x11.5 and 2x4x15.5

Total internal volume: 2.978 ft^3 @ 30hz

Just about...

If my math is correct

That looks like a good idea to me but i just found sonething out that will make money tight so i'm gonna go with an L-slot port.

35"w by 13"t by 18"d with a 3.5" port and a second port length of 20". Am i on the right path?

 

[N9ne Millahhh 10+ year member]

i think like 45" total...but i'm just gonna go with 35" wide by 13" tall by 18" deep, 3" port width, 11.5" port height, 29.5" port total length.

If i did it right, should be 3.079 ft^3, tuned at 29.63Hz, using the RE Audio Calculator, because i trust it, but anyone know where to put the sub displacement into account? do i just add it on to the box volume i want?

I haven't done the math, but re calc is not accurate. My other question is why are you tuning so low? Do you only listen to chopped and screwed music?

I got a box designed using torres and re audio as a start guide. And it'll be tuned to 30.5hz because i love low bass and with these subs the sound quality will be awesome. I love how 30hz boxes sound.
