CarAudioFab Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I think the corner that the port fires on is a good spot to start? How much can people gain by adding them Its not like it is going to be ten times louder or anything but here's the thing. Adding a 45 is soooooo easy you would be silly not to add it. It is so disheartening to see people rush through box builds trying to skip steps. Take your time and add those 45's! If not everywhere within the box at the very least you should have them up the port. Or even better KERF the port.

n8ball2013 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 and whats your logic behind adding 45s "Everywhere" as you state? Id love to hear it. I do know that alot of people have seen no gain or a loss from 45s.

MrSkippyJ Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 i thought 45s in the port were to keep a consistent port size in the corners. why would you put them anywhere else?

I do know that alot of people have seen no gain or a loss from 45s. By "everywhere" I mean the four corners of the enclosure when viewed from above. My logic behind adding them is just like you stated, no "loss". So for something thats so easy, can use scrap wood, and gains you strength in the enclosure (no arguing that) and has a potential gain of smoother air flow within the port, what would be the argument for not doing it? -Mark Host of "CarAudioFabrication" - YouTube Car Audio Tutorial Channel Check out my forum section here on SMD for my builds and tutorial videos!

KillaCam Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 The 45's in every corner just seems like a fad to me. And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

MrSkippyJ Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 i think the argument for not doing it is all the testing that was done. i seem to remember it showed a loss of output most of the time.

n8ball2013 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 so explain how you're gaining any strenght by adding them to the strongest part of the box? And did you miss the part where I said many people saw no gain OR a loss? I mean I guess that would probably be my argument for not doing it at all. All a 45 is doing is creating 2 angles instead of one taking up enclosure volume since most people dont know how to calculate for it and further complicating the build process. but whta do I know. Im not the guy on youtube trying to show people how to install. Im just some random guy whos been a part of this hobby for going on 17 years or so now.

HunterJohnson Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 fuck 45's in corners. I only 45 the port to keep the distance the exact same.

Missed that "a". I dont think it is that hard to account for though as you can view it as a cube volume then simply divide by two. Well I guess this argument shows its a preference thing. I will continue to do it, but to each his own! And jeez man I wasn't trying to insult your knowledge! Sorry that it came across that way!
