sbg Posted August 9, 2014 Report Posted August 9, 2014 So I have my box with 2-6" round PVC ports. It sounds just fine and all, but people keep telling me I need to flar my ports. After about 100 people telling me this I just said fuck it and started to do it. I did one side(front of port) but now I'm at the point were I need to do the other side. So what I want to know is do I have to flare both sides? Or is just the front ok? If I have to do both ends I have to Flare the other end when the ports in the box. Or cut it then flare it the glue it back together. So if I don't have to do all that it would be a plus. Thanks for the input. Pics of before and the ports flared on one side. 01 focus se 110 amp alt Big 3 sky high and stinger hpm ofc 1/0 Super start platinum AGM (starting) 2 runs of 1/0 Execution audio front to back Kenwood double DIN DDx271 A pillars- orion 4" super tweeter and 2-1" alpines.

alaskanzx5 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Posted August 9, 2014 I would think the inside port opening would be more important. You would most likely have more air movement at the inside of the port. Flare the inside just enough to where it still fits in. Or flare the outside more and give it a lip to mount it with. Flare the inside then cut the port hole just big enough for the flare to fit in and the outside flare with the lip on it to be mounted t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

I have the room in the box to put that flared in inside the box and slide the (NOT flared side through the port holes and then can flare that side from out side the box... Sorry if that don't make sense.

sbg Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Posted August 9, 2014 Why not just buy some precision ports? Just wondering. Well I have never done this so I wanted to Give it a go, still may go with precision port. Kinda a test run you can say. To be real I want to see if I can even tell the difference from not having a flare and having one. 01 focus se 110 amp alt Big 3 sky high and stinger hpm ofc 1/0 Super start platinum AGM (starting) 2 runs of 1/0 Execution audio front to back Kenwood double DIN DDx271 A pillars- orion 4" super tweeter and 2-1" alpines.

sbg Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Posted August 9, 2014 Bc its cheaper. Flaring it enough to get a flat lip is kinda har tho. Yes its only 7$ for a 6" PVC port, and I think I can get it flat. Just have to go real slow with it. 01 focus se 110 amp alt Big 3 sky high and stinger hpm ofc 1/0 Super start platinum AGM (starting) 2 runs of 1/0 Execution audio front to back Kenwood double DIN DDx271 A pillars- orion 4" super tweeter and 2-1" alpines.

TRON Posted August 9, 2014 Report Posted August 9, 2014 All the power to you, but remember, you're stretching it so damn far it will probably crack, at least that what always happened to me when I tried it. edit: If it takes you more than an hour, then its better to buy the $7 ports because I'm guessing you make more than $7 an hour.

Its not like I can't just glue the port to the box like it was before. I mean does the flare have to be more then what's in that pic? I can get more out of it^ for sure but if not its not a big deal. Like I said before the setup sounded just fine with out the flares just want to see if it will make a difference. Because people seem to think that its a must. 01 focus se 110 amp alt Big 3 sky high and stinger hpm ofc 1/0 Super start platinum AGM (starting) 2 runs of 1/0 Execution audio front to back Kenwood double DIN DDx271 A pillars- orion 4" super tweeter and 2-1" alpines.
