They don't make Square drill bits how can i make a square port in my prefab? :peepwall:

Ohhhh yes they do...watch vid.

as a machinist i questioned this before watching. and although they show it is possible, the money they spent making a one of a kind collet in order to do this they could have either drilled out the hole and punched out the square or ran a small endmill to creat what they showed. i am very impressed with the video but it just doesn't seem practicle...with that said please continue with car audio. :)

I've had numerous people complimet the sound of my DC Port. It may lack in efficiency, but it is not audible. With power, it is also competing against much more SPL designed setups and not disappointing.

Sorry for bumping an older thread

bumping this old thread , not sorry

when trying to lower the tune of my box i made something like an inefficient venturi by combining a slot port with a flare port 

stacking ( 3 ) 22.5° miter cut 2x4's for the top and bottom ( total of 6 ) of the port for a gradual decrease then a gradual increase in the port made for a nice deep sound that flattened the response

being tuned at 29 but peaking in the 40's changed to 24 hz but much broader and with a new extended range 

sorry i dont have a box rise measurement and this is all pretty much anecdotal

tldr 

this neat port is roughly 13.5'' at the opening then gets smaller , like 10'' then gets bigger again and sounds dope A.F.
