TeamHT Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Ha, I wasn't even tripping, I was speaking generally as you paraphrased the OP even though numerous replies were made answering his question. So I'll chill with my smart comments so you can chill with your dumb ones Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el monte Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 would a 10'' aeroport be too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real96SS Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 ......wait......what? 8 - 1 = 7 12 - 1 = 7 And these post were neither dumb nor smart in no way right? The only reason I posted that is because the only helpful posts were up top.Simply put I'm not going to clog up his post trying to answer your replies.If your going to post something post something helpful instead of being a smartass.Pm me if you feel like you have something else to say instead of posting it here.

TeamHT Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Real...your idiocy is astounding. Seriously. I'm the villain for posting logic (replies were to the post above mine) albeit not specifically addressing the OP, while yours do the same. If you're not going to reply answering the question, or promise to never ever answer anyone's post other than the OP, kindly shove it this pretended notion of self righteous gets a bit annoying.

TeamHT Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 funny, i just went from 2 3" precision ports to 2 4" precision ports in my box def a gain in output How did you measure performance increase? Meter? Sound? Maybe the port area before wasn't enough? Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian2435 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah so going through all the comments, I got an answer here and there haha. But if any of you would like to share stories or experiences about ports, go right ahead. We're all still learning Thanks for all the feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 The answers you got really are the main points that need to be made. Sound is different per person and dependent upon your ears...so I have never noticed louder scores when going from 14^2 to 16^2 to 22^2. What I have noticed is that the boxes become more and more peaky. "peaky" means a big hump in the frequency response just above the F3 point. A box being peaky is not caused by the port size (unless it is undersized and has too much compression), the tuning frequency vs. the box size vs. the driver parameters will determine the frequency response. High Q designs will have more peak. Usually works out great in a car where cabin gain boosts the lower frequencies. That is why you see car subs tuned 30-35 Hz, but home subs tuned down around 20 with drivers that have different t/s parameters (or amps with EQ on the lower end). I'm not sure if you're expecting more, or thinking that more port equals louder, it doesn't always unless the sub isn't given enough port to begin with. Some say port area to volume has zero connection whatsoever and maybe they will chime in. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Ya this topic mainly derived from my enclosure where I undersized the port area a lot and therefore port noise is a huge issue. So I mainly wanted to know how about I would be able to make a new enclosure with a great port that would maximize the subwoofers performance, mainly sound quality wise.
