TO ALL BOX PROS

[Loudsound Customs]

will a sub sound good in an enclosure with TWO SLOT PORTS one in each end of the enclosure??????
will it perform?????
or sound shitty????

way all d box pros dem??

[33 hertz]

Will a sub with 2 round ports sound shitty compared to a box with 1 round port?

By adding two slot ports all u doing is increasing the port area, once you compensate for it by increasing the length of the port then u have no problem.

Again it comes down to tuning. The only tricky part is getting the ports to fit if they have to be longer than one side of the box, this can be easily solved by using a very simple design similar to the one diamond audio uses. The benefit of having two slot ports is that you get really good internal bracing, however you use some of the internal box volume.

I aint no box pro. but been there done that, next please

33 hertz,

i understand for circle ports but wat about 2 L ports 1 on each side??
look at d pic bellow

[jeff]

you can put how ever as much ports as you desire just do not exceed the limit of sq inches or your box will act as tho its free air and make sure the tuning for the 2 ports are correct as most when doin so dont calculate it properly

[Loudsound Customs]

wat about wen the baffle is at an angle do the inside end of the slot port need 2 b at dat same angle or u jus make the inside end like a normal slot port??

[33 hertz]

^ yup just as jeff said dont go above the sq inches limit. The only reason i played around with the 2 slot ports idea is cuz it looked better in the install, i was trying to make it as symmetrical as possible. The design u have should work but my design was a bit different, will post it up later when i leave work.

[3stagevtec]

is there a specified length to cut the tubing shorter by?? (i doubt though..)

i just measure the internal parallel length...

Rovin supposed to have 4" aero...

[jeff]

yep 3R and they jokie self...i went in there once to get a port self and wanted just the flares and they tell me that length of port is for all subboxes...steups

[3stagevtec]

^ ha, i got that same reason about the length from them...

[Loudsound Customs]

[xeon]

[jeff]

yal comon...you are not going to be able to hear the difference between brands of aeroports...
the xscorpion is just flares and 3r stuck it on to a piece of pvc thats all

[xeon]

^^^ ok kool

[richiepooh]

The Service SUCKS in there, unless you deal directly with Richard.

I'm using the Scorpion X and it's working Great. My enclosure is tuned to 35Hz the Golden Frequency.

[Soundstream_626]

richie how much it cost yuh for one?

cus i seeing www.partsexpress.com have all diff sizes and types

4 inch x12 inch is 13 us

[richiepooh]

4 x 10" for TT 125.00

[xeon]

^^^ R & K imports in sando hav dem cheaper, d brand is bluewave audio

[xeon]

^^^ i not sure bout alloy ports,

This is wat Triple R have xscorpion



And this is wat R&K have

[richiepooh]

They are pre stuck but can pull apart with a bit of effort.

[lancer3]

richiepooh, the normal 4" pvc pipe workin, if length is >10"

[richiepooh]

Nope the lenght of the Port is really the lenght between the curves

So that means that ten inch Scorpion will not apply to your project. You will tune the enclosure a bit higher.

[xeon]

^^^ so the length of the port isn't from end 2 end???

[richiepooh]

No sir

Couldn't understand how we never got a PSP dealer locally, or did we?

Everyone's outer flare diameter is a bit different but they have some nice information on Installation that could come in handy,
