port discussion slot (square) or round

[Highs on bass]

So I would like to hear the opinions on peoples ideas between a square (what I call slot port) compared to a round ( pvc, Areo ) etc. I have been debating on having a box rebuild and am trying do decide if I want to keep a slot port or if I should do an areo etc. Pro's Con's benefits etc. Any and all info is great thanks!!!

Btw if this is a repost I do appologize I haven't searched for it. I figured its easier for me to do this because I'm on a ps3 and the search takes at least 5 min to find anything. Usually the ps3 doesn't find anything either so...

Slot is definitely cheaper to make....aero's flow better?

some one needs to test this.. a box the same size before displacement.. then do ports tuned to the same.. one aero.. one slot..

hmmm sum one send me an amp I'll test it. XD I need an amp to run my xxx 15. That would be a perfect example for this. Lots of excursion. But yeah...

kerfed slot

 

[Highs on bass]

test a 4 inch a 6 inch and an 8 inch areo. then do a slot. I have the slot already. 4.3 cubes at 32 htz..... but yeah. I'd love to test this theory.

yeah I want to try that too. never done a kerfed angle. the box I have currently for the xxx was a 45 on the bottom side and I did a 45 to go between the port. so if anyone is willing to help test this it would be awesome

aeros are never permanent. If you don't like the tuning freq. it's easily changeable. If you want a larger port, cut a bigger hole and throw a new one in there. But aeros are more expensive

It depends on the vehicle.. if your in a truck slot is definately louder. Subs forward slot port all the way accross the back. router the edges smooth on the slot.. should give you another DB...
