seen this link on one of our other threads.... i would like to write down the basic formula mentioned in it for the aero ports. referring to the port area equivalent of a slot port. if i said that right. it mentions that you can be safe with 56% of what a slot port needs for the area with an aero port. is this a good rule of thumb to keep in mind? aero port guide

hey dub26s, i was going to show you a build we done with cvr's but haveing trouble grabbing the link , so i bumped it to the top on the build threads for you to give it a look chop

ttt, can't seem to grab the link , sorry bumping up for another member to give a look. chop

jc, what is the weight on the 18" btl? any pics of the install?

i am the wrong fellar to be brutal, lol, not much more than a noob. i have , like i said, read several times over of the resonance of the box being changed when glass is added. something to do with how the wave reacts to it. sorry, i am hoping that someone will pitch in here, i would like to hear what a pro has to say. i will search around a little and see what i find. the big , strong box part, i will be attempting to put alot more time and patiance into the next one i build. i could not believe mine had so much flex to it. i really did think it would of been strong enough. seen you were looking at aero ports for the next one, they are sweet looking! chop

coming along real nice.

it is no more. RIP backseat!

It's under build logs so I all ready have a thread started. And yes I already have the drivers wood amps batts and car. Just needed a refresh on my math for now that's all. what ride are you putting the DP's in? i guess i was so interested in seeing the IA subs that i missed the math error, sorry. these guys walked me through a build for two 12" IA 187"s, we used three 4" aeroports , it came out sweet. good luck on the build, hope to see lot's of pics soon. was not attempting to pick at you too much, just these are big time subs and usually the guys that are useing them are on top of the design stuff. trust me, i am tuned in, i like the look of the aeros and the ease of retuning if needed. chop

well you and i are at spectator level at best for carl casper at this rate. but that slamology will be about right. i remember the last one like it was yesterday. your overly excited ass handing SSA flyers to every single person there....lol. representing!!! last years theme was "Dam, only one sub!" , i am afraid this years theme will be, "That shit is too loud!" lmao

i have read multiple opinions about the glass on the inside of the box, regarding to how it might affect the sound. do you have any words of wisdom on it? in short i see spl guys likeing it more than sq, saying that to mention, obviously, you are after sq. the creative approach on the port, the glass work, the goals in mind, and fab work on the trunk leads one to believe this is going to be a sweet build log to the end. what deadening will you be doing again and how much of it? looking good, chop

can't let you party by yourself!

thank you

i was surfing around another sight and seen a post of a fellar wanting to check his design on a port. he was told a length by the guy , and drafted the port out accordingly. the port he presented is the exacrt length he was told. i was just thrown off by this because it is a slot port, and i thought that the end correction should of been factored in. i was told it wasn't. so does the end correction not always factor into a port design? the port folded so it was so it was not on the exterior wall, but ended inside the box along the adjacent port wall. thanks for the help. just wanting to ensure i am equiped with the right info. chop edit.... the length given was to be 26.65"

no diffuculty, just what we been doing, looking at alot of options, zeroing in on what will work best over all. i would say no, add a couple of fans for a piece of mind..... easy enough......perhaps even a little noen under there too. basicly you would have two vertical ports firing up, one on each side. port area stays the same, just the length would be divided in half... not really competing, so you are not worried about pressurizing where the mic would be located. main thing i would think this would add is strength to the center of the box. i mean you have to dig out all the tricks to put a 18" btl in the rear of a s-dime and stay at the window line as well! some folks use 2/3rds of the rear of a full size suv for the same sub. lol, but 6+ cubes would be good.

seems like i miss all your threads. nice history lesson though. you won't be wearing them silly ass shorts any time soon, lol the shag was wild too

you will begin to find some do and some don't. not sure, with out reading if cs's calc. does or not. it is cool to use the calculators, but the pencil and paper way is sorta cool too. it looks like you are a wizard at numbers after a few months of boxes build up in your note book.

oh, no, i know that bro..... i agree with the direction you was heading 100%. thanks chop

4 gauge @ min.

Chicagfan > < DD9915D!!! this is FTW Mike!!!

nice vids......... the flex is crazy.......

have you thought about spliting the port into two ports... the vertical port walls would help brace the front wall for the sub.... and yeah, i lost my mind for a sec when i was trying to double the top baffle, oops....lol i have not looked at the re page to see what these specs give you for your net volume yet, is it at least a little over 5 cubes? sorry it is my night to cook ( burn) dinner, lol chop

x2

i will be upgradeing to an wmd2 18" very soon! bear will be useing a wmd 10" find a home for the 15" in IAK, that would be cool lol

would true aeros be considered in the future? i had a post similar to the one with the wire speghetti a long time ago, the fellars use to tease me if i cleaned it up i would gain at least a full db. , lol sooooo, you ran it for a year, went to comps in it, joining up here to share and establish future goals, you go boy! you already know that it is not parrell to the norm, but you are still enjoying it and still learning, that makes the most fun of this hobby. good luck with the future goals. chop
