BTL FTW Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) I've seen Slot ports the have a bend to get an "L" shape but never one like this is this feasible? I'm trying to tune this enclosure LOWWWW for 2 morel 12's in my home theater. Would a port like is pictured work to get the desired length?

BTL FTW Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 yes its feasible, but i cant explain the purpose of it. the purpose in my case is to get a long enough port to tune to 24-26hz Quote Alpine F1 Status DD CS6.5 x2 Front Stage DD 9512H DD M4a @ 2 ohm DD S2b @ 8 ohm per channel I run high ohn loads for MASSIVE headroom and cleaner SQ 270amp alt D2400 up front D3100 x2 batter in back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHOUSTON Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 the purpose in my case is to get a long enough port to tune to 24-26hz 24-26hz is a very low tuning ...most music isnt recorded or capible of doing so...but whats the applacation for..and the port is called a t line i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be just super low end impact Quote Alpine F1 Status DD CS6.5 x2 Front Stage DD 9512H DD M4a @ 2 ohm DD S2b @ 8 ohm per channel I run high ohn loads for MASSIVE headroom and cleaner SQ 270amp alt D2400 up front D3100 x2 batter in back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingeriffik Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Why not increase your port area so you don't need such a long port? Or just do an all out T-line.

Vent idea It'll work fine as long as you have the correct amount of air space/port length. I've had several enclosures with ports like this, that all seemed to do fine.

bassl0va Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 This guy has some really good methods to get super low tuning. And he has built boxes that play down to 15hz using cheap drivers: http://www.subwoofer-builder.com/projects.htm ^some great ideas Quote My RE MT 18" wall build Former build, farewell beloved wall.In progress, Toyota Starlet build This forum has a massive boner for ridiculous electrical upgrades.
