[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 5234087, member: 549629"] We are discussing AERO ports here, not slot ports. The port area required for aero's is considerably less than a slot port, assuming you care about port noise. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] For an aero port, a single 6" or dual 4's is usually adequate for a 15" sub. [I]"Only reason to go with less port area is to save space"[/I] The only reason to increase port area, thereby increasing port length and over all enclosure size, is to reduce air velocity and minimize port noise due to turbulence. So I'll reverse your own logic on you and ask if one 6" aero will produce inaudible port noise, why increase port area (and over all box size) just to reduce port velocity even further? Most people chose the more expensive aeroport route, rather than the cheaper slot port, to save space on the enclosure (less port area = shorter port for a given tuning = less enclosure size). If you arbitrarily decide aero's need as much port area as a slot port, might as well save some buck and just do the slot. [/QUOTE]
