slot vs aero AGAIN!!

[jusBloud 10+ year member]

has anyone testet the same exact set up slot vs areo? I have a trunk car and i'm gonna try sub back but i'm wondering if i shoud try slot or aero. the first aero box i made didn't live up to the hype but i only had a 8 inch areo for 4.7 ft. what size aero would be good in that size box?

was it an actual aero, or just a round port?

round port

Eh, the only difference is the presence of flaring.

agreed. you had far too little port area without flared ports.

10 inch tube?

2 6's? the 10 would be extremely long and i have no idea where to find a elbow that big

If you're not going to use flared round ports (aeroports/precision ports), then just make a slot ported box with the appropriate amount of port area.

Simple round ports without flares give no real benefit over properly designed slot ports.

an 8" round wouldnt be too bad

I just used a large band saw and cut my 10" PVC port at a 45 to make an elbow. I am considering machining a jig with an internal heater to flare them to see if I notice a difference.

8" gives 10.68 sq in per cube so depending on the sub / s it shouldnt have been horrible.

i still prefer slot ports the slot acts as a brace for the box. i think aeros are all look and hype personally especially for what they cost but thats just my .02 . if they could be proven to me to increase sq or db by a significant amount then I would change my mind.

Flared round ports decrease port velocity, performing as if they had more cross-sectional area.

There's a thread somewhere saying that they are so efficient, you can get away with half the port area by using flared round ports.

The reason I use it is due to size constraints and simplicity. An external aero port is easy to calculate for tuning, and can worm through weird spaces in an attempt to achieve optimal box volume, port area, and port length. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

slot port if your not using true aero port

I bought Aeros bc someone told me it would make my penis bigger.

I sold them shortly after.
