fritosaregood Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 which is what i was thinking lol. does it help if the kerf is bigger? or does it not mater as long as its kerfed? you dont need to go bigger than the port width really, but with a 5 inch wide port a 5" radius kerf is better than 4 and 4 better than 3. thanks all you guys commenting about me seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970
fritosaregood Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 so basically it would move more air then a slot port tuned to the same frequency and sub and cubic feet? with same amount of port area.? pretty much. but you need to flare both the entrance and exit of the port, and also add one radius of your kerf to the port length. so a 14 inch long regular port would now have to be a 17" long port if you put a 3" radius kerf on each end and it also strenghs the box because of fiberglassing right? It depends on what you glass. when i do it i just flare the kerf since it is too weak without it due to all the wood cut out seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970

chapo123 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Posted August 23, 2010 pretty much. but you need to flare both the entrance and exit of the port, and also add one radius of your kerf to the port length. so a 14 inch long regular port would now have to be a 17" long port if you put a 3" radius kerf on each end It depends on what you glass. when i do it i just flare the kerf since it is too weak without it due to all the wood cut out ahh the kerf for box is only kerfed at the exit.. problem?? Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history.

AUDIOADDICT02 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 so true. i kinda wish i wouldve waited so i could have gotten both ends flared Either way looks like its gonna pound with that box.. Honestly, and just my opinion on this, but to me it seems like 1 flare on a slot port is like a half-flared round port...haha CHECK OUT MY MYSPACE; SOME PAINT WORK I'VE DONE: http://www.myspace.c...customcreationz DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB BOX BUILD: http://www.stevemead...showtopic=48978 DODGE RAM 1500 RUMBLEBEE EDITION CUSTOM ENCLOSURE: http://www.stevemead...showtopic=48983 PREFAB REMODELING: http://www.stevemead...box-remodeling/ G35 CUSTOM PAINTED L7 BOX: http://www.stevemead...om-painted-box/ CHEVY SINGLE CAB PAINTED SUB BOX/AMP RACK: http://www.stevemead...vy-boxamp-rack/ KICKER L512 BOX BUILT TO SPECS: http://www.stevemead...-kicker-l5-box/ RF HE2 10'S KERF PORTED BOX: http://www.stevemead...erf-ported-box/ 2 DC LEVEL 3 15'S KERF ENCLOSURE: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/115502-kerf-ported-enclosure/ 2 HCCA 15'S PORTED ENCLOSURE: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/129468-2-hcca-15s-enclosure/
