Punkeyboozter Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Ive seen a 3db gain from just 1 flare. Just sayin one pipe with a flare or a one " flare?

Fish Chris Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hey Ray Ive seen a 3db gain from just 1 flare. Just sayin Geeez, I dunno, but that sounds almost too good to be true ! 3db's ? Really ??? It's kind of funny, but I almost always see them pushing aero ports as a great way to eliminate port noise (which is not a problem with sufficient port area, anyway) but I honestly don't remember ever reading about huge gains in db's ? Think I'll have to go back and look into this some more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh hey, but anyway, had it been proven to me ahead of time, that a flared port could add significant db's, I actually did flare the 6" pvc port on my last box, myself, by heating up the edge with a blow torch, then forcing it down over (of all things ) a bowling ball ! Worked great ! Here's a pic... but it's kind of hard to see how much it's flared, as I wrapped the 4" or 5" that protruded from the box, with carpet.... Peace, Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) id move the box closer to the passenger side where the amp is you aernt utilizing the gain from loading the port against a surface nice looking setup btw Edited August 29, 2011 by Decaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrongmanDesigns Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 flares definitely add the deebeez. In some cases more than other however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Chris Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks guys. Decaf, moving that box would be almost as difficult as moving half dome ! LOL + I like the look of it all on the drivers side... However, when the port extensions are in place, they do, in fact come within a few inches of the passenger side rear door. I never considered that this would add db's, but I can totally believe it. Anyway, like I say, I'm not really a hard-core SPL guy anyway. I still have some SQ tendencies Although my system will never be SQ enough to compete.... Nor SPL enough to compete.... Yet it's still louder, and cleaner than most of the systems in my area. {okay, there are a few loud a$$ fart boxes around here, but I mean, systems that play actual music}. Anyway, going to finish those couple port extensions today. Will add pics to this thread.
