Gold Member Username: Adam_s15 TC9 Hybrid, RE MT Softparts Post Number: 1079 Registered: Aug-04 | Sorry I have been really busy. I can post something up for you later on tonight. Aero ports are a vented enclosure. Anything ported is considered vented. |

Gold Member Username: Adam_s15 TC9 Hybrid, RE MT Softparts Post Number: 1082 Registered: Aug-04 | Here ya go. This should be 3 cuft tuned to 35 hz. The ports are 2 4 inch flared ports.  |

Bronze Member Username: M0nkeyman692Post Number: 100 Registered: Feb-07 | is there a difference in sound between those and a regular rectangular port? |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 347 Registered: Sep-05 | aright so i go to homedepot and tell them i need 2 4 inch flared pipes, 16.5" long and theyl no wat im talking about? and wehre exactly shuld these ports be places, like how many inches shuld they be seperated from each other? thank you sooo much steinka for the help. |

Gold Member Username: Adam_s15 TC9 Hybrid, RE MT Softparts Post Number: 1084 Registered: Aug-04 | Sorry didnt get back on until now. Home depot will not have flared pipes. You can get them from http://www.psp-inc.com/psp-inc.com/public_html/4%20inch%20precision%20ports.html or else you can try parts express. You will prolly have to cut them to the length you need. If you decide to go to PVC ports you have to subtract one inch from the length of the port. |

Post Number: 2262 Registered: Jul-06 | Rick it sounds as if you don't know exactly how to do this.You should have a box built for you and then work on building your own to see how it's done.The good thing about this would be that you get to bump and work on your own box without ever being without a system  |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 349 Registered: Sep-05 | ahh im so confused... when you say if i use pvc ports subtract an inch? so i would get 2 pvc pipes 15.5 inches long? and can i use pvc pipe instead of flared pipe, will there be a big sounding difference? |
|
Gold Member Username: Adam_s15 TC9 Hybrid, RE MT Softparts Post Number: 1089 Registered: Aug-04 | Yes the PVC pipes would have to be 15.5 inches long. There really wont be noticeable different between the flared and PVC ports. Flared ports are easier to mount than PVC though. |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 350 Registered: Sep-05 | ya i can visually see that lol flared all you do is pop them in and seal around them while pvc, will take soem good cutting and sealing job... umm one last question, how far should the ports be away from each other and the bottom/top box, and i say i need 2 4" 15.5" long pvc pipes theyl no wat im talking about rite? thanks for all your help, steinkea. |

Gold Member Username: Adam_s15 TC9 Hybrid, RE MT Softparts Post Number: 1092 Registered: Aug-04 | It doesnt really matter where the ports are located. Just try and get them in a spot where it looks good. At Home Depot you will prolly only be able to get full lengths of PVC pipe and will have to cut them down I am not really sure you will have to check with them. |

Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 353 Registered: Sep-05 | is there a program that tells you the exact cut outs of the mdf u need for sealed boxes... because im stupid when it comes to geting the exact cut outs... |
|
Gold Member Username: Adam_s15 TC9 Hybrid, RE MT Softparts Post Number: 1094 Registered: Aug-04 | No offense but I have a feeling you are gonna mess this up. I really think that your best bet may be to actually buy a box. |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 354 Registered: Sep-05 | ive built 3 boxes.. 2 sealed and 1 ported... not aero ported tho..its aright ill figure it out... |
|
Gold Member Username: Adam_s15 TC9 Hybrid, RE MT Softparts Post Number: 1096 Registered: Aug-04 | The aero ports dont matter anything to how the box needs to be built. You just have to build the box to the dimensions I listed and cut holes for the ports put them in and be done w/ it. I have calculated everything out for you already. |
