Cashdollar2009 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) I have been running my aero for a while now and for my rebuild here this month I want to go back to the good ol' slot port. BUT, my issue I will be facing is that my trunk cut-out sort of "covers" the top corner of my slot when i'm trying to use up every bit of width possible to get a good final net, and have the front fit snug so I can seal it off... Here is my old box to show what I am talking about: Now, I have been looking into flaring my port. From the knowledge I have, this obstruction will affect my tuning slightly, raising it. If I were to put a flare onto the end of my port coming out of the baffle, (derrrr a flared port) would this possibly help against the minor obstruction my stupid cut-out covers? In order to get my targeted net ft^3, I need to use 2 common port walls or this would not be an issue. (Side wall, then back wall for the bend.) Thanks ahead guys.

Spitfire2k6 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I say instead of making the port the full height of the box make it wider and "lower" if ya get me Quote Live life to the full... Then TURN THAT BITCH UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7jezuz7 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Wouldn't that be three common walls? Top, bottom, and box wall?

Cashdollar2009 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I say instead of making the port the full height of the box make it wider and "lower" if ya get me I know what you're saying man, the curent problem is though that in doing that and not using three common port walls, it eats up too much net volume...

Cashdollar2009 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Wouldn't that be three common walls? Top, bottom, and box wall? And you are correct. I'll have to switch those numbers up... I was thinking side walls only since it will bend and need to use the back wall. Makes more sense your way.

fmedina Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Why don't you have the port in the front then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
