sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 2992 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Saturday, June 25, 2005 - 16:35 GMT well there is application to help in the abc box with this idea but i wont get into that but what im showing you is how many times have you wanted a small box volume and couldnt fit the port right using pvc well now you can plus you dont have to figure port displacement and you can hot swap the ports easier if you wanted and get more creative as well with the looks part of it all
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 2993 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Saturday, June 25, 2005 - 16:40 GMT you could even make it swapable to different diameter pvc sizes if you wanted for any reason

Trevor Eaton Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021 Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 677 Registered: Sep-04	Posted on Saturday, June 25, 2005 - 21:29 GMT while were talking about materials and stuff lol... do you think homedepot or lows would cut my MDF for me? or atleast if i pay them? lol.. because i dont have something to cut perfect 2 inch diameter circles for my ports... i have a jigsaw but with a diameter that small its going to be impossible to make a perfect circle so i was wondering if any1 has had lowes or home depot do it?

sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 2997 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Saturday, June 25, 2005 - 23:11 GMT trevor I believe this will work for your port hole question. Im not familiar with tools much but I think Im right. Its called a hole saw. Heres the link. Also trevor I planned on you using schedule 40 with 2 3/8 outher thickness. To the person who asked about cpvc its got a higher pounds per square inch tolerance. http://www.coastaltool.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/a/lenox/hole-saw-kits.htm?L+coas test+fcdp7454ff826782+1119770810

sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 3000 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Saturday, June 25, 2005 - 23:30 GMT I found a 2 3/8 hole saw for 16 bucks but thats still expensive...check around on that and make sure the pvc your getting is 2 3/8 outer demensions as well http://www.mytoolstore.com/mkmorse/at.html
