Subwoofer box question

[intrevic 0]

Just had a simple question is it better to do a slot port box or one that uses an aero port

[Carshateme 0]

It's a matter of listening preferences. Some say Aero ports are better on the numbers. Some say it isn't. I've always done slotted ports. They're easier to build and sound perfect to me. It's all about trial and error man.

 

Slotted ports take more space, while aero ports are good for space conserving. In my experience, they're a pain to calculate...but that's because I never deal with them.

6 of one half dozen the other . A port is a port as long as it has enough area/shape to be effective.

I was just wondering because I've seen them and just wondered if they has a different purpose.

_{Round ports} put out round waves and sound better.  Slot ports put out square waves and when they combine with the round waves from the subs, they sound trapezoidal.

I would say personal preference because you can flare a slot ports as well fill in all the corners with a 45 degree angles and move alot of air and have a very clean sound wave like the aero ports.

I use square ports also and they work well too.

I would not recommend pwk. I have seen a few of his designs and they were poorly done.

Yeah, I just put it down...for shits and giggles. I wouldn't recommend him either...just due to the fact that he takes a BUTT load of time to respond.

A lot of people would be much happier if I still built boxes. Couple of local dealers have been bugging me to invest in a cnc
