runner800 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 well i built my box with bent ports i think it sounds really good, it was a major pain in the ass though since i had to glue inside the box then hammer the port in through the opening so that good cement contact could be made. And instead of having 4 pieces i have 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkolfo4 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Kicker also told me 100% of their subwoofer warranty was due to underpowering. That 1/2 width is for slot effect, not the bend. Someone was confused when they wrote that.

Crandis16 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 hey what is you guys' take on bending ports? do you have to 45 the corners or is it ok to just 90 them?? I just do 90's. I've heard that most of the time the 45's in the corners hurt SLP. What I have seen some people do though is if they add a 45 to the outside corner, then they cut a 45 into the inside corner.

runner800 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I think that adding the extra length only helps haha I like it low so it definitely doesn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
