aero ports in a wall?

[pimpedout97x 4]

due to the complexity of the sides of my box, its going to be kind of hard to build a slot port on the top of the box.

i was thinking, instead of a slot port, should i do like 4 6" aero's? (or whatever i need to get the right amount of port area)

which leads me to my questions.

-if you have 200 (example) sq in of port area, with a slot port, if you switch to aeros, do you still need a ton of aero's to get 200 sq in? or does less aeros equal out to the larger port area of a slot port?

-aero ports in a wall. how will this work? i know one con is i dont get the natural bracing a slot port would provide, but ill deal with that, and add some extra bracing.

-difference in sound? spl? numbers?

Since they are aero's you need less port area than you would if they were just round. FYI, one 6" aero has ~27" of port area, so you'd "need" 8. Basic geometry here: Pi* radius squared or 3.14*3*3. One other thing, your wall is a box so treat it like such.

LOL @ the "box"

anyways, on a serious note, will this work? how many would you run for 2 18" mts? i believe i have roughly 15-16 cubes before sub displacement, and i want to tune around 31-32hz.

this is how the box sits now, im hoping that it wont affect the airflow too much, i will be rounding every square edge in the box, adding some small 45s in every corner, and glassing and smoothing the entire interior of the box.

what you think?

That is gonna be one loud mini. That is gonna be a pain in the arse to round over and 45 degree each and every corner. But its better to do it right the first time.

ive spent this much time on the sides, all those angles and all, might as well go the whole way
