i have a problem with my port....

[t1990le 10+ year member]

Ok I have a 2004 Ford f-150 new body style and i have a box thats made for 2 12s. The box has a port coming out at the driver's side wall thats like less than one inch from the wall. I figured out with will cause problems with my subs seeing that the sould will travel through the port and hit the wall of my f-150 and then bounce right back into the box. I sealed the port hole up for the moment and i was wondering if i could cut a square hole at the top of the box so it would channel the air up? Any advice would help thanks.

you should be able to keep the box and just add aeros or fab up a up firing port

adding aeros sounds a lot easier i would have no idea on how to fab a new port lol

Keep the sealed box and add aero's. Ive done it a few times and it works great esp in your application.

ok on caco.com i got a suggestion to run two aeros that are 3" in dia and 4.5" long. Just place them in the middle of the box at the top and it will give me a tuning of somewhere near 36hz. Would this be pretty accurate?

9:15 bump. Any suggestions?

I just ordered 2 3in aero ports that are 4.5 in long. I have been told that this will give my box a tuning around 36 hz which is fine. And the ports were only 2.09 each so thats not too bad they can be useful cup holder if it doesnt go well . I will report back and let yall know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
