Lesson learned with aeroports... after having used them for 8+ yrs!

[CRXBMPN 5,000+ posts]

I decided to put my nice triple 12 box back in with two 6" aero's and when the final product was installed I was grossly unhappy with the sound, output, and low end. I tried one amp, two amps, three amps, four amps, frigging with settings, everything... wtf? Checked voltage, flipped polarity on each sub individually to see if one was out of phase but nothing... I was farting around with my buddy during break and stuck my hand in the left port and it was fine, but the right one was screwed up! The tape I put on didnt hold and it fell off at the front flare! So I have one 13.5" flared port and one that is like 4" flared outside and the rest is floating around the box somewhere lol.

here is a pic of the box when I had all three ports external, I've since covered the middle hole and put the two outside ones internal...

ALSO***** my remote wire on my Kenwood shiat the bed today!!! So I have to run a toggle switch from a battery + to it and then off to my amps! MOFO!

oh yeah, I guess the lesson learned is to either tape them better with duct tape ONLY or glue em!

use sheet metal screws...a couple on each end. No sagging ports like when you tape them and you can still get them apart

Well that all went to hell quick, i got the port fixed and now my deck wont turn on when its plugged into the harness. I took it out and tried it on a spare battery with just red yellow and black hooked up.... Fired right up. Big question is how my red security light blinks when i remove my faceplate and its plugged in to the harness....
