Question about port noise and tuning

[caseyarndt 10+ year member]

So my question is, does a box with dual ports have more port noise that one with a single port assuming they had the same total sq in and total length? This would be for a single DD 9515.

Then my next question is, would a box having a single 64sqin port 20" long have the same tuning as a box with 2 ports each having a 32sqin port 10" long?

Thanks in advance for any help

Go with a single larger one if you can...multiple aeroports are less efficient

Yea i can go with one i was just going to try 2 because it would look cool.

And sorry i should have added they will be slot ports.

So are dual slot ports also less efficient thay one larger slot port?

ya i would just go with one... two might look cool but almost every custom box ive had built or seen built(or even prefab for that matter) uses one slot port

Yea thats a good point it seems like if 2 were actually better we would see more of them.
