I pictured framed the outside edge of port with 1 1/2 abs cut in half then 45d at corners last weekend and gained .6 which finally gave me my 156 I love pvc so far using it it 3 locations has gained me 1.2 dbs . How bought dimpleing the inside of the box and port like a golfball it allows the ball to fly farther lest resistence through the air. Mite be a lot of wrk to test though

Glad your score keeps raising my man, i wish i could get a demo from your tahoe, i might travel to Cali and get a few demos from you guys if everything goes right, we´ll see, i´m going to Florida next month and i´ll be around for about 10 or 12 days.

About the topic, well, i´ve been asked to try your idea a few times before on this topic, but i honestly don´t know how to do it, ovver here i can´t get any tape like that or something, any suggestion on how to do it??

I was thinking about an alternative to the PVC around the port :)

Get you some pool noodles that are made out of foam and use around the port

you could glue the foam to the wood then duct tape over it.... what do you think :) 2.5"

Foam would just dampen...

I am talking about cutting the foam and mounting to inside of port and putting duck tape over it. It would be for better airflow same principle as him using 1" PVC but instead use 2 1/2" foam. You can get the stuff dirt cheap

I think I will try it and see

Sounds like a good idea man, it could actually work, but that material is kind of strong? i haven´t touch one of those things in years lol

THIS! I'm thinking if this work, it should work the well on kerfed and heavily bendt ports. I'm a little temted to try it on the enclosure i have in my room, all outer edges and port flare is kerfed with double 3/4" mdf. But i have also read that with spl you want to keep everthing smooth soo.. Idk, it's definately interesting. I don't have any kind of measurement device so it would have to be by ear, and as far as sqeezing numbers go, that's not very effective.

It would be cool if someone could try this, cause I havent seen it done in this context before.

Only place I have seen it as i know for sure it with B&W speakers.
