NcHalfrican Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 I'd like to make a port similar to this guys, but I'm kind of at a lost when it comes to designing it, let alone cutting it and putting it together. I tried to contact Dave the Box Guy(the guy that built it) but am having trouble finding a way to contact him. So, I was wondering if yall had any experience with building it...I was checking out Fritosaregood's first port design and I image you would put it together in a similar way.
Team_DC-Derrick Posted July 30, 2010 Report Posted July 30, 2010 could just PM the guy from the video and ask if he has his contact number The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall....... I just realized Steve has reach Voldemort status, over on JP's site he is the one who will not be named....."We dont speak his name over here, fearing it will destroy us" LOL not even in hush tones
STEvil Posted July 31, 2010 Report Posted July 31, 2010 8 pieces of mdf cut to the length you want with 45 degree corners on all sides (360/8=45). edit - if you're referring to the adjustable nature, he probably made two of them and slides a smaller one into the big one to allow him to adjust it in and out for comp/daily. MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.
NcHalfrican Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Posted July 31, 2010 could just PM the guy from the video and ask if he has his contact number I messaged him a couple days ago, no response...Didn't check when the last time he was on tho. 8 pieces of mdf cut to the length you want with 45 degree corners on all sides (360/8=45). edit - if you're referring to the adjustable nature, he probably made two of them and slides a smaller one into the big one to allow him to adjust it in and out for comp/daily. But If you cut two angles at 45 and then put them together they would just make a 90 degree angle. I think you have to cut them at a 67.5 degree angle, Wiki says the internal angle of a octogon is 135 degrees. I'm no worried about the interchangeable part.

My bad, there are 16 angle cuts for an 8 sided "octagon" so you will cut at 22.5 degrees (360/16)... or 67.5 depending where you measure your angle from.

Krayzie Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 Instead of making a new thread to ask this, I'm just going to bump this one. Any additional info would be lovely.

ktraughb Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 how do you think he flared the ends though? i dont see how you could router it, unless done piece by piece before assembling, then lots of hand sanding once glued. looks very labor intensive.
n8ball2013 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 the end is probably the easiest part. looks like an mdf ring that was routerd and rounded then adhered to the octo part of the port.
