I might write up a blog about this in detail with all of the advantages/disadvantages of each including some that people do not notice to the ear.

If I don't have it done by the end of Sat, someone PM me and get on me lol. I won't include specific design information, but I will give general comparisons of advantages/disadvantages. I may include kerfs also //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif. Gonna be a long blog I imagine!

 
An aeroport with the same port area as a slot port and same tuning should be a smaller box.
same port area yes however my 4-8' aeros in my box took up the same amount of space as my new box difference in port area is huge and the slot is much more efficient so their are mjor limitations to the aeros just situation dependant.

 
How would you guys port a wedge shaped truck box for two 8's that is 12" H x 46" L x 4" top x 7.5" bottom outside dimensions using 1/2" mdf? I can only go with ports on the outside due to them taking up airspace otherwise. Not sure how to port this box. It's divided also so i need a port for each sub. Have about 12" above the top of the box before i hit the rear slider.

1st off use 3/4 inch mdf then you will have to use external aero ports for you box.

Yes, sorry I didn't post it yet. This is not meant to be insructional by the way, it is meant as a non-biased opinion and the choice of using either round, slot, or square ports are up the the design limitations, capabilities, and personal preferences of the request. But hopefully it helps a little bit on what I think of each to determine what may work best for you.
The responses I may get from this will either be positive or negative, but I appreciate both just for everyones information. If you feel different than I do on this, feel free to reply to me in email or PM about why you feel that way, or if you have any questions regarding what I have mentioned in the blog.
Remember, it is a blog, and blogs are based mainly on opinion, and from my professional experience of design, my opinion of this should be respected even if different cases have been proven or go against what I have mentioned. Because, the reason they may differ is due to the design and how it relates to the environment and the accuracy of it when calculated, so in reality, the choice is still always your own.

The main point is about limitations and how they can help you decide, if at all, on any of the choices you have, more than saying one is better than the other in acoustics. In pure calculation, differences can and are almost always minor as some may agree. So, don't take the blog the wrong way. And if you do, to bad. :D

Slot port or Aero port? Which should I use???
