qcbangin Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 this may be a dumb question, but was wondering what is the deal with painting the port? i've been seeing alot of videos of boxes with just the port and surrounding area painted. what is the reason for this? thanks.

Sanitarium Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 For there to be any difference at all (though still only noticeable on the TL) then the paint would have to be glass smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fecupe2001 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 For there to be any difference at all (though still only noticeable on the TL) then the paint would have to be glass smooth. This!!! I honestly think it should gain a couple of tenths on the meter but i haven´t test that one yet Quote I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.

I honestly think it should gain a couple of tenths on the meter but i haven´t test that one yet Should also try textured paint to see if it has a "golfball affect" could score higher then smooth!
