A 3" aero is generally plenty for a single 8" woofer. A 4" is also going to require a lot of length; you'll have to custom make it with your own PVC in order to get the length required. .8ft^3 at 40hz with a 4"er requires 24.5" of port length.

A 3" will work well on low to mid level 10" subs, and a single 4" will work well with the same low to mid level 12" subs. The flares really help eliminate port noise. If you're just wanting as much output as possible, then feel free to go with the larger port.

^ yup a 4" will work with a 10" with about 60mm of throw , i know

I realize that even people in the industry use the term interchangeably, but a round pvc pipe that is flared is not the same as an aeroport.

FWIW, I have made boxes for single 10" subs with flared 2.5" PVC running ~300W. Lots of bass, zero port noise, and that's on a bigger sub with a smaller tube.

Just my 2 centage

Hey RAM does that mean you can put90 degree turns in the port to get desired length? or am I missing something here?
