ParDeus Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Clean Sierra, I believe the Hammered Finish would work well enough, but I'd guess bedliner to be more optimal. I will build a port today, and flow it with both finishes, as well as smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbeljefe Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Another thing to consider using for port bumping (I think I'll trademark that term ) is Flex Seal. It lays down with a heavy orange peel like finish rather than having the sharp and thick blobs that many bedliner products leave.

I've pretty much tried them all. Facebook: facebook.com/audioanarchyllc Instagram: audioanarchyllc Youtube: youtube.com/bbeljefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pretty much tried them all. Oh yeah the leak seal only dries quick if it's a thin coat. And if you touch it before it's cured it comes off like thick wet chalk. But I've never sprayed it on a porous surface now that I think about it so that might be mostly why lol. Only clearcoated and chromed metals, not wood.

ParDeus Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I thought about this today... Might the move towards more port area due to less turbulence in a bigger port? That was my original thought that took me down this road. Once flow approaches choked conditions, it becomes very turbulent. We know regular ports have no redeeming airflow qualities, hence people are finding improvements mainly from turbulence reduction? Sounds very plausible, and seems to support my original hypothesis. I read the fellows link referencing straws in ports, and it made mention of that. I think I'm on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParDeus Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Just to clarify, air speed reduction=less turbulence, hence bigger port area than usual. I know that is pretty basic, but seems to be overlooked. So smaller, but more efficient ports (sans turbulence) =moar deebeez? I know I just decribed the foundation behind an aeroport, but as I've seen, they suck at efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Is this compared to a square, rectangular, or random shaped port? Edit: as in the efficiency. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

ParDeus Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I was generalizing, but I had rect. ports on my mind at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParDeus Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Through all of the searching I've done about enclosure design, most of the new home theater designs blatantly talk about reduced turbulence and more linear flow being directly responsible for increased spl and bandwith. If someone wants to send me an aeroport out of their box, I'll modify it, provide flow data, and then you can reinstall it and give feedback on the difference. Perferably if you have access to a termlab, but for now subjective data will work well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
