lowers.

lowers.

Is there any negative side effects to it? I've got 4 4" aeros and was thinking about plugging one or maybe two of them to see what the difference was.

You might experience port noise in the remaining ports, play it loud and check it out... too much port turbulence will hurt SPL. Also your tuning frequency will change so max SPL may be reduced or change to a different frequency, like instead of 35Hz it may now be peaking at 30Hz.

Its at 34 right now, Just wanted to do it out of a curiosity thing. Not really worried about losing a little spl to help out a little sound.

Thanks for the answers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

You're welcome, again just play with it and see if you like the new sound.
