Where should I put my aeroports?

I'm going to be putting together a new box this weekend for a 10'' BL in my reg cab ranger. First off, the box will be 1.6@36-37 with (2) 3'' aeroports (Fi recommends 1.25). Will I run into any problems with having the box larger than optimal size? How should I put my ports?

Here's the space I'm working with:

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

it's up-firing if you can't tell

why not make it smaller and save space since obviously you don't have much to begin with back there?

Then the tuning would be even higher than 36 or 37. I'll be using full length 3'' aeros and it will still be tuned moderately high. I want to fire up instead of to the side and I don't want the top depth to be too deep so 3'' aeros is the largest I can fit.

Why can't you just change the length of the Aeros?

Because the longer the aero the lower the tuning. So in order for me to fit (2) aeros with a moderately musical box I had to make the box larger than recommended for the 10'' BL. If I shorten the aeros or decrease the size of the box then my tuning will be into the 40's.

Make 'em longer and stick them out the top some...

I can't make them any longer....I'll be using full length aeros as it is.

edit: sorry I thought I already mentioned that in my original post.

You can't stick a splice in them?

Never really thought about it. I'd have to order another port from PE to do that. I guess I'll just see how this turns out first.....and if I don't like it I'll build another one with longer ports and have them stick out the top.

or you could just go to your local hardware store and buy some 3" PVC in like a 5 foot section and just cut it down to what you want, then stick the ends from the aeroport on it.
