runner800 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Looking for input on bending ports, kicker recommends adding 1/2 the port height to the total length for each bend, is it the sme for round ports? What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carshateme Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) http://www.kicker.co..._building_hints If you are going to bend the port at 90° you will need to add 1/2 of the ports height to the length! See Below. Example:(Fig. 1) Hport = 3" Wport= 10" Lport = 20" (Fig. 2) Since Hport is 3" you need to add 1.5"( 1/2 Of Hport) tO Lport. This means that L1 + L2 = 21.5" Always measure L1 and L2 down the center to get an accurate measurement! Here are a couple more examples of the different shape enclosures you can build. The woofer can be mounted on the same side as the port or the back side of the enclosure can be slanted to fit up against your back seat.. On the cut sheets we provide, change the dimensions to accommodate the woofer and the vent on the same side. Make sure the internal volume does not change!

Using a round port you wont have a common wall of port and enclosure so no.

Just get an elbow, straight or bent, both end should have unobstructed airspace of at least one diameter in front of them, also must not get too near any walls of the box.
