Airborne Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Nope easier way make progressively bigger wood rings and bondo around them to make them smooth and slide the pvc over that instead really? It took me no shit less than five minutes and less than half a beer to do mine. I did take a litle time to round the edges with a file, but I don't think making progressively larger rings and all that is as fast as a wine bottle and heat gun.

Nightshade Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 That's some good info right there Gary. I'm planning on taking out my 4 4" aeros for my 2 12's and putting in 2 6" aeros for them. It's roughly the same ammount of port area, but with 2 ports instead of 4 it is more efficient and should be louder. If you make your own you should try and make something like 8" ones and you could sell them for like $50 each.

I would never claim to have the best meathod. I just figured out a way to kill port noise. I am bad at taking pics of my brain storms. also.

Airborne Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 And I bet the ones in that tutorial look a hell of a lot better too Not really. I am pretty good at shaping things. That tutorial look great, and if I were interested in making the same diamater port every time i would invest the time to make the "mold". But like I said, a wine bottle and a 2x4 worked out great it it sounds better than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 For (really) high powered applications I use a system of 1 6" port per 12" woofer although this is mostly for SPL 2x10/1x12 = 1x6 4x10/2x12/1x15 = 2x6 8x10/4x12/2x15/1x18 = 4x6 Halve it for musical duties. My daily setup is a 9515 in a ~ 3 cube box with a 6" aero tuned to mid 30's and it goes good Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daily setup is a 9515 in a ~ 3 cube box with a 6" aero tuned to mid 30's and it goes good I had thought of posting that as well. But I figured for the general population what I put would be right for them. I could see a someone getting two 6 inch aeros for a pair of Lightening Audio subs.... Then blaming me for damage to them.
