INTRODUCTION

OPERATING / FEATURES

Amajordesignchallengewhenbuildingaventedspeakerenclosureisthe

turbulence generated by the air moving through the port. The air move-

mentcausesharmonicdistortionaswellasawhistlingnoisefromtheport.

The Aeroport was designed to reduce this effect. Inspired by the bell on a

brass instrument, the flanges on the ends of the Aeroport reduce the air

friction and distortion inherent in the operation of a conventional tube.

This manual provides information on the features, installation and

operation of the Aeroport. We recommend you keep this manual for

future reference.

We strongly recommend you have your Authorized Rockford Fosgate

Dealer install your new Aeroport; however, if you choose to do the

installation yourself, please be sure to read the entire manual before

beginning. When installing this product, please use the proper safety

precautions while using power tools or flammable materials.

Aeroport reaches only .05% distortion with 50 Watts of input. The end

result? You can apply more input power with less distortion or use a

smaller diameter Aeroport in place of a standard tube.

CALCULATING PORT LENGTH

After the enclosure has been designed, the following formula may be

useful when calculating the port length:

Lv =

Lv = port length in inches

Vb = volume of box in cubic feet

Fb = tuning frequency

R = radius of port

When cutting the Aeroport center tube, the length should be cut 3"

shorter than calculated. When the end flanges are affixed, each end

then the fully assembled Aeroport (center tube with flanges attached)

shouldmeasure 11" (theextra 1/2" on each endcontributes to harmonics

MOUNTING THE AEROPORT

When gluing the end flanges to the main tube, use a good, quick drying

epoxycement.Carefullyapplya1/2"beadontheendoftheportthentwist

the4" Aeroportandcut a9" diameterhole of the

6"Aeroport. After the holes havebeen cut,use a

1/2" roundover router bit to accommodate the

curve needed for the end flange.

When mounting the Aeroport to the enclosure,

Roundover Bit

Beforecuttingany holesintheenclosure firstdeterminetheplacement of

the Aeroport. Best results will be derived by placing the woofer and port

on the same side of the enclosure. To maintain proper tuning and noise

free operation, the Aeroport should be positioned to allow the flange at

least one port diameter clearance from the back and side walls. For

instance, if you were using a 4" diameter port, keep it 4" from the bottom

of the enclosure and 4" from the enclosure walls.
