Slot port VS. Aeroports...

[OoMesKoO 10+ year member]

hey all! I am just wondering. I am getting a pair of Type R 12"s.... and i was wondering if a couple aeroports would be better than a slot port style box. Does anyone have experience with both? Let me know!

Thanks guys!

aero's are a bit easier to mock up, and install.. and will reduce port noise at high output levels..

some people swear by em, some swear by slot ports..

I've used both... they both get the job done IMO

^^^^ I feel the same, after hearing and using both they both do there purpose about the same. Aero's do sound allitle cleaner becuase of less port noise and there length is easily adjustable, which is good for switching the tuning if you compete and use it as a DD.

the ports are gonna cost as much as the whole box if you choose aero's

You shouldnt have port noise with vents if you have the right amound of port area.

With the right design, I doubt Aeros can yield more than a 1-2 db increase over a vent. To some thats important, but to me, im too much of a cheap bastard to spend the $$ for aeros //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I used areos on my last box because they let me skimp just a bit on port area, yielding a smaller box.

If you have the room make sure to go with 2 6" aeros with that setup. you can also use PVC and flare them. practice on a 1 ft chunk about 5 times cutting it off each time and you shoul be a pro by the end.

how did you flare it? just a torch/heat gun and a bowl?

They used a lathe in that link, not many ppl including me have access to a lathe. If just somehow attacked the pvc to a drill and drilled it down on a cone type hard surface you think it would have the same effect as the lathe or does pvc need alot of force?
