  • Two 6" or 4" aero ports for my 2 12" subs?

    I just built a box(about 4.5cubes) for my 2 12" obsidian audio subs and was wondering if I should go with two 8.5" long 6" dia aeros or two 4" aeros( not certain of length yet either) they will be running off a US Amps Merlin md1d, 1200+rms at 1ohm(subs are rated 600rms a piece). Any help would be appreciated. And btw the tuning Im aiming for is as much spl with the lows still hitting deep and pure(low 30's?). Thanks ahead of tyme
