Areo port vs pvc

[Jessica]

thought it was half the radius of the flare on each end. Although, that usually isnt very much.

Like the title says

Do the flares make that much diffrence?

Is there some applications that favor one over the other?

Is it worth flareing some PVC pipe?

I know there is a calculator for aero ports on the website would that work for PVC (assuming same diameter)?

(System spec if it matters) 2 vcw124 on a nvx 1200.1 the box will be built to the suggested size and tuneing for said subs (unless anyone would like to make a better suggestion)

4) Torres calculator will work fine for non flared aero ports as long as you use only a single pipe.

i know its been a while but care to explain this as you can see here i plan on useing 2 3 inch pipes

why will that only work for 1 pipe wouldn't you just divide it by number of ports

It's a flaw in torres, it's only accurate for a single round port, the PSP calc works correctly, the length of the port you are given is for each one of the pipes you are considering, you should not divide the length.

No, you can't just divide it by the number of ports. That's not how box tuning works. One 3" port 11" long, for example, will not tune you the same as two 3" ports 5.5" long. When you double port area you have increase port length as well to keep tuning the same.

If you are only going to use two 3" port for a pair of 12" subs on 1200 watts you might as well just leave the box sealed. With that little of port area, the performance is going to be pretty poor.

it was 2 3inch (11inch long) ports for one 12" on 1200 watts (was being the key word looks like things are changeing)

i will update my enclosure plans here with the new ports when i get them re-worked
