dog24fret Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 If this has been asked before I apologize. Do the shapes make any difference or affect the sound. Like my other half asked if I could make a lighted star shaped port for the box. If nothing changes I'll be using the sundown 8's if that matters for this question.

dog24fret Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Posted September 17, 2012 It isn't that stupid of a question? Trying to learn more about ports still a noob with this area for sure. Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp
roscoe1129 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 the only concern is placement and size... ive seen ALL kinds of port shapes from round to a big jackolantern looking port in assmans astro... make it removable so if you dont like it you can change it Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer Scientia est Vox "In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" DONT BE AFRAID TO USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!

Miakehl Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 I wouldn't think so as far as sound is concerned. I'm sure port noise would increase with crazy port shapes but as long as port volume stays the same the flow should stay the same. In theory anyway.

dog24fret Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks guys. When I start on the plans for the box I'll put up dimensions and stuff. Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp

mrd6 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 Round ports should in theory be the most efficient of all shapes. They have the lowest internal port surface area of any shape you can make. This means that there is less resistance to air flow due to friction against the inside of the port...with that being said, with a well designed and smoothed-out port you probably could not hear the difference between a round port and square or rectangle or something with the same specs otherwise My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL

BobbyG2 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 I think someone in a little-pinto-type car did a port in the DC logo. It might of just been a face plate though, can't remember. I think he did a good score too *New vehicle and system coming soon.*
