Critique My Box Design for 4 SDC2.5 12's

[ARSkemp 10+ year member]

The Box is 8 ft^3 tuned to 38 hz using 3 6" aeros ~ 16.2" long.

Ports will also be flared on the inside as well, i just didn't feel like drawing them in. There will also be bracing thats not drawn in.

How does this design look? The only thing im worried about is the ports being to low (2" from bottom of box?) or too close to the magnet of the subs (~ 5"s from top of port to bottom of magnet). I've never used aero's so i want to make sure they are placed correctly.

Any input from someone with experience with aeros would be appreciated.

Thanks.

To me, as a very VERY non-expert on anything involving a vented box, as long as you have a reasonable amount of space between the Aero's and the back of the box (re. 6+ inches) it looks like something I would build for myself =P

Ya i've read somewhere that you should have > 6" on each side of the port (up, down, left, right, to the wall). Thats why i'm concerned whether their is enough space below the port, and enough space from the magnet. I really do not want to have to make a new box because the subs don't unload properly.

anyone else have any opinions/suggestions/criticisms? I want to make sure i do this right the first time...

I would probably move them up a little closer to the subs and off the floor of the box.

Should be quiet impressive when it's done as the SDC's do very well for a budget sub.

I can center them so that its ~ 3.5" from the bottom of the box and ~ 3.5" from the magnets, would that be better?

my buddy has his ports directly under the sub almost touching the magnet and it sounds amazing still.
