Emmet Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Octoports are for ppl trying to get a big aero ports but not able to kerf wood into a circle, or feel like wasting sheets of wood just to stack rings to make ports. I'm sure they work good, but I would rather spend the time and stack rings to make a port. I dunno man I think they look damn good... Audiofanaticz work. i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah.. You want this to happen to you? Give decent handshakes people.

rogue Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 I have successfully made a tube style port 8" in diameter using the kerfing method. Takes some decent math to get an exact size. Have not made an aero yet out of mdf. Really only made the tube to see if I could, never used it. Saves a lot of wood and time in comparison to rings.

CJ18 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 Copied from his description. The red part, and he will cut it to any size that you want before it is shipped to you or you can probably use a hack saw to cut it. the ports are made from the metal of your choice. they are paintable and very strong ! all seams are spot welded and can be sealed with either silicone or something of your choice either by you or me all seams are made with a flange to be tight and smooth on the inside (airflow side of the port) these will give you an increase over a traditional slot port and are not as permanent they can be adjusted ! they are not going to ring and have been tested to not ring it was a question in a few of the early prototypes if you are still concerned i can apply deadener to them just like your door or roof
