Hey guys,
My goal is to get better sounding bass because it does not sound too good right now or at least I nlow it can sound better. Here is what I got. In a 92 2dr Blazer 2 15" L7's in one chamber of approx 8.2 cubes. Subs are facing up and ports are facing back. In this box I currently have 4 4" precision ports. I think my problem is with the ports, they do not add up to be the right diameter size for the subs but I am not for sure. What I do know is that kicker recommends a 6" port for each 15" L7. The reason I did not use 6" ports is because they are not as easy to find.

it may be ur tuning also. u have to be more specific when u says it dont sound right. what are u hearing port noise? and why not just do an slot/square port and router the edges. that way u get way more port area then u can using aeros. just let us know what u mean by sound better. and we will do all we can to help.
