I guess you can just wing it. Personally I would never buy a sub from a manufacturer that doesn't list proper specs for their drivers.

yea i know ive learned my lesson i regret buying them they are still on their boxes new wish i was able to return them but im stuck with them atleast would like for them to be 2 10s instead i made a mistake getting this since i like getting loud and feel the bass hit hard and starting to doubt i will be able to do this with these.

Sorry should have specified mark lafountain ssa member and Im guessing owner of ssa.

To make things easy I'd say to use at the very least a 4" port. I would shoot for 20+ square inches though, if you can.

4" x 20+" Aero port? Is the torres calculator that off?

  • Author

So what are the right numbers to use and equations to make the right calculations?

4" x 20+" Aero port? Is the torres calculator that off?

No man I meant port area, ONLY the opening of the port not the depth.

Oh ok I wouldn't be able to use a 3" Aero port?

I wouldn't a 3" is only ~7 square inches of port area, a 4" is even on the small side.

Really? For a 2.25cu ft box?

Really? For a 2.25cu ft box?

Yes

And port area is not determined by box volume.

Wow so you think a 6" Aero port? How long?

Why are you set on an aero port?

  • Author

Slot port takes up more space that I need for the subs
