[QUOTE="Cashdollar2009, post: 8817335, member: 617476"] Exploring the fixed size challenge of aeroports, I played around with an 8" port to see what I'd be looking at. If I increase my enclosure size to net ~ 2.5ft^3 with an 8" aeroport, that gives me ~ 50in^2 of port area/19.24in^2 per ft^3. I'd have to bend the port twice to fit it in the enclosure, which would be it's own battle. I'm only questioning this route because that's more port area than the suggested slot port. And with aeroports being more efficient than slot ports, I'm concerned with that much port area I may run into unloading issues and an incredibly narrow frequency response. (My past experience with that much port area on my DC Audio XL's, also understanding that those are completely different subs than the Sundown X's.) Side note, that big tub was just me dragging the cutout down in Sketchup to make sure I had motor clearance above the port. I wouldn't be putting a tube around the sub in the box. That was a concern somewhere else that I posted this question so figured I'd address it here. :) [/QUOTE]
