Search = fail. Aero port question.

Do you need the flared end on both ends of the tube, or just the terminus? Does it matter?

Thanks.

You fail

Umm, ok. Thanks. I guess that means I should know the answer already? If I did, I wouldn't have asked it obviously.

if you want it to have the true characteristics of an aeroport, you will need flares on both ends. It will work without both ends flared, but that is just a waste, and you might as well do a slot port.

It doesnt matter. If you make it the right length either way will work. Flared is less noise though.

so it doesn't make a difference but it does?

Either way will work but flared is better.

Well, every port that I have done so far with pvc only has had ridiculous port noise, even with a 4" for (2) 8's. I know that the flare will reduce port noise, but didn't know if it had to be flared on the inside. I keep hearing that you can get away with a smaller box with aeros too. Is this just because you can use a smaller port and still avoid port noise?

I wouldnt do a flare on just one end cuz that defeats the purpose, Aeros are more efficient because they are circle i believe.

 

[TaylorFade 10+ year member]

That can't be right. Not disputing your knowledge, but pvc is a circle. I'm assuming it has something to do with airflow characteristics of the flare and reduced turbulence.

I said it was a circle and that it was more efficient because of it. Thats what your first sentence said.

A slot port is flat obviously, so it has corners, dead spots. A round port does not.
