[QUOTE="The_Dealer, post: 8461733, member: 661313"] On the aero box I did for my 2 xd8's I went fully external. I wrapped the port tubes with electrical tape so I could change the ports out to change tuning. I suggest doing the same so you can play around with tuning to find what you like, then you can glue the port tube to the coupler for something more permanent. On the aero box I did for my Skar zvx-8 I kept around 10" inside the box because I needed to take up some of the box volume without changing the outside dimensions. By doing some of the port inside the box you'll raise the port area slightly. So IMO your 2nd design would be the one to go with. BTW you don't have to enter 3 in the width box, that's for slot ports. I did my box for the xd8's the exact same volume and tuning as my slot port and metered it. The aero was almost 3db louder than the slot port. I'm running a lot more power so I screwed & used liquid nails to attach the port, then used filler to smooth things out and fill the screw holes. Picture was taken before sanding BTW.
