Is two 4" aero's enough for 3.6 cubes?

[HellsRise 10+ year member]

I've been reading up on aero ports vs. slot ports...it sounds like you only need half the port area with aero ports? Right now I can either do 50 in^2 of port area with a slot port or use two 4" aeros for ~24 in^2. I've only really used slot ports in the past and I was wondering if I would get any port noise out of the two aeros.

i've never heard that you only need 1/2 the area with aero's.

It depends on the subs.

3.6 cubes, is that for 2 12's or 1 15? The sub will make a difference if it'll be enough or not. You should be fine with 2 4's, but it depends.

A good rule of thumb is 12-16" of port per cubic foot, but I guess it can vary depending on the sub.

how do you determine port area off the aeroes ?

2 4's will be good Icon doesn't move THAT much air.

i'd stick w/ 2 4" s or 1 6"
