aeroports vs slot port

[king ranch 5,000+ posts]

whats the pros and cons of both

and also what would be the best aeroports lenght and diameter for a box that is made for 2 12's l7's and the box dimensions are 26long 17.5wide and around 35 deep and i was thinking around 33hz for tuning

and one more question to make a aeroport box isnt just a sealed box with holes cut out and aeroports put in the place of the holes

so if i want to go sealed one i have aeroports i just have to find a way to seal the holes off correct

The only cons to aero ports, imo, are that they cost more money, and you have less of a selection as far as port area goes.

They're easier to setup, you can literally change the tuning of the box in 2 minutes, cut port area in nearly half and they're loud. Once I started using them I never wanted to go back.

For 2 12's I would do 4 4" ports or 2 6". There's a port length calculator on http://www.psp-inc.com

Yes, it's basically just a sealed box with a pvc tube stuck into or out of it.

Wait, so if I took my CVX in a sealed box spec (1.5) and added an aero port would be as good as a CVX in a 1.75ft^3 with a normal port? What would you suggest for 1.5 ft^3 and 32hz tuning if so?

does it matter where u put the port

Try to keep the opening of the port as far from the sub as possible.

Here's some examples w/ external ports. As you can notice I have the sub placed as far from the port as I could get.

ok so with 2 12's l7's in a box with the specs of 26long 35 deep and 17.5wide and i would like it to be tuned at 33hz what ports should i put in it

and after port and sub displacement what would each sub have in airspace
