There are actually a few reasons for that. Sorry if I get technical here. "Arrow" ports are actually louder because they direct air in the form of an arrow to the listener like brad said. They are very precise. You can point them anywhere, and that is where you will be loudest. The trick is to hire a plumber of some sort, and get him to run some PVC pipe from your box to your dash. Place the meter on your dash and you will immediately gain DBs. Of course, make sure all the fittings are sealed up correctly. The science behind it was created by a older scientist named "Johnny A-row" Hence where the name "arrow" ports came from. He was a master in Neurosoundoligyitus. He discovered this idea by rejecting the null hypothesis into his acoustical performance. They are still popular today. Hope that sums it up for you man. If I'm wrong on any of this info, please feel free to correct me. |

Silver Member Username: Hittin1Lake Charles, La. United States Post Number: 887 Registered: May-07 | i heard it was 5 Db. / arrow port. So would need 4 ports to get 20 extra DBZ! Isn't that the rule of thumb?!? |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 3263 Registered: Jul-05 | No... its carbon fiber with mink hair. It has a golden plated tip however that drives the ladies and dBs crazy. Its mostly for looks but adds around 10-12dB. |

Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 2229 Registered: Nov-06 | i would totally take it off your hands but they outlawed mink in my home town its a shame its not horse i would have been on it like a wetsuit on a Mexican oh well thanks anyways brohan |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 10063 Registered: Jun-04 | Seriously now. Aero ports have an advantage of allowing more airflow with less port area because of the flared design that cuts back on resistance. Using them also cuts down on the length of the port which is also beneficial because you want to have a port with no turns for greater spl potential. The lower amount of displacement an aero port takes up can also be useful. You could use the flared idea on a slot port as well but I answered it according to a standard slot port design. |
