doubleD Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 does 45 angles in boxes realy make that much difference. does putting angles around ports realt help the air flow out better. does it change the sound or improove much
Neo_frog Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 If you've read any of the members builds or looked at anything pertaining to box builds anywhere on this site, the 45s or anything dampening the sharp corners inside and around the port will help with SPL and could potentially yield an audible difference. People wouldn't go the extra mile if it didn't do anything positive. Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

amazinblazin10 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 yeah putting 45's in the port especially would help cause the air movement doesn't get caught up in the corners so it smooths the flow of air coming in and out... it'd probably be beneficial for you to take the extra time to make the necessary 45's. 1997 Dodge Ram Van 2500 Big III addition with 1/0 awg wiring all throughout Lightning Audio Strike S4.1000.1D Jenson XA2250 2 - 12" Mtx Jackhammers JH55 3ft cubed box sealed under the rear bench seat Pioneer DEH-P6000UB head unit MB Quart FWA 160 components up front
jizazz12 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 should you 45 the corner's in a box that you are useing flare ports, or do 45 angles only pertain to slot ports? 2007 Chevy Impala LS 1 Crescendo 3KWP 1Crescendo C1000/4 2 DC lvl 4 15's with lvl5 dual .7 coils 1Audio Control Matrix 1 Pioneer P880PRS 1 300 amp Iraggi alt All power runs done with Knu flex 0/1 guage 1 optima yellow top under the hood 1 XS 5100 and two Deka's in the trunk 4 Crescendo MP-8 mid bass drivers 2 DB Drive p5 5 D Pro Audio tweeters
amazinblazin10 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 flare ports i wouldn't really know about.. i don't see why you couldn't use them or you can go all out and do kerf cuts and forget corners all together.. but that is a bitch cutting it i guess in a box using flare ports.. and anyone can correct me if i'm wrong the 45's would be used more as internal bracing unlike a box using slot ports. 1997 Dodge Ram Van 2500 Big III addition with 1/0 awg wiring all throughout Lightning Audio Strike S4.1000.1D Jenson XA2250 2 - 12" Mtx Jackhammers JH55 3ft cubed box sealed under the rear bench seat Pioneer DEH-P6000UB head unit MB Quart FWA 160 components up front
Neo_frog Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 No matter the port, the 45s on the inside joints are meant to manipulate the waves inside the box. The port is it's own entity to be rounded/flared in addition. Best would be to do both if applicable. Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

Torres Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 there's a very reputable member here who says 45's are pointless. and with the many records/awards he has...i believe him. that's why i dont have any
