dsw422 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hey guys.. I kept asking new questions in my last post so I decided to make this one.. I am running into port length problems. I wanted to go with 2 4 inch ports but they protrude out from box which the guy I'm building for will not like. I was thinking of going to sealed.. so, I was thinking of hiding the port on the side of the box which was actually be hidden from sight. I was wondering if firing into the body panels of a car is OK?? I can achieve the proper port area and length for the tuning I was trying to achieve by doing it this way.

RooTxBeeR Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 So wait, like. A port on the bottom of the box? Just firing into a panel? Then it's sealed basically. Why do you want 2 4" ports.

dsw422 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 sry.. I guess I should clear up my description... this is the box.. the port will go on the side.. the box sits down in the cargo area of a 95 Camaro.. the panel it will fire into will be cut out so its not firing directly into the plastic, but will be firing into the area behind the plastic so itll be able to breath fine.. 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan Factory Sony 10 Speaker Sound System 1994 Ford Bronco Dual head unit (i kno) Sony door speakers Kenwood Rear Speakers Custom Center console in the works. will house an NVX NSW10" https://m.facebook.com/WinnsCustomCarAudio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Unless you have it tunneling through the body panel(s) and back out then I don't think it would have the outcome that you want. It would have to be the same size all the way through the panel to the cutout for the exit.

dsw422 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 if I were to do that, that would change tuning... the rear panels in the Camaro have nothing behind them so I figured it would kinda act like a trunk enclosure but act better since there is no seat or rear deck for the air to go thru.. it only has to go around the paper thin plastic.. 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan Factory Sony 10 Speaker Sound System 1994 Ford Bronco Dual head unit (i kno) Sony door speakers Kenwood Rear Speakers Custom Center console in the works. will house an NVX NSW10" https://m.facebook.com/WinnsCustomCarAudio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I don't think so. All you would be doing that way is porting it into the panel, and the sound would resonate in the panel and not so much in the cabin. Yeah the port can breathe... Into that panel, sealing it off from the cabin. If you want to do it that way, you have to make the port exit the panel as well. If it makes it longer and changes tuning, shorten the amount of port inside the enclosure to adjust.

dsw422 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 if you look up a 95 Camaro t top trunk pictures, there are cutouts in the panels on the side to breath.. think that would be enough??? 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan Factory Sony 10 Speaker Sound System 1994 Ford Bronco Dual head unit (i kno) Sony door speakers Kenwood Rear Speakers Custom Center console in the works. will house an NVX NSW10" https://m.facebook.com/WinnsCustomCarAudio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Couldn't see any cutouts in pictures. You have pictures of it? Cutouts that lead to the cabin? That would make it an extension of the port. It would resonate in the panel and then bottle neck through that cutout I believe, changing the tuning.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 You are asking for big time rattles and other noises that way. You'd be better off going sealed. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Keith77 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 You can always put an elbow to get the proper length. Something like this Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
