Would this idea work

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3351 Registered: Jun-04 | take a ported subwoofer box with say a slot port tuned to a specific frequency then have a second slot port branch off of the first one at an intersecting point in the first slot port for a second tune frequency lIke this | | | | | | | | | | _| | | | | |

Silver Member Username: RzarectorCoquitlam, Bc Canada Post Number: 501 Registered: Dec-04 | what would be the point of that? to block one off and have a diff tune? why not just tune it low | |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3352 Registered: Jun-04 | neither one is blocked off it would create dual tune points like 35 hz and 50 hz | |
|
Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 858 Registered: Nov-04 | I think its an awesome idea you can tune one higher and one lower like you said so not only would you be able to hit the low notes with accuracy but also higher notes so it would give you a better all around sound but the way you made it in the picture I think I have an easier way. | |

Silver Member Username: RzarectorCoquitlam, Bc Canada Post Number: 505 Registered: Dec-04 | it could work i guess.. but at the split u would probably have to half the size of the ports.. and split them in a V or something so that all the airflow isnt going down 1 port.. worth a try i suppose | |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3354 Registered: Jun-04 | go for it buddy show me thats why I shared the idea to get brainstorms goin | |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3355 Registered: Jun-04 | your right mark | |
|
Silver Member Username: RzarectorCoquitlam, Bc Canada Post Number: 506 Registered: Dec-04 | lol i have to many boxes to build right now and NO time | |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3356 Registered: Jun-04 | im thinkin this idea might only work like a bandpass | |
|
Silver Member Username: RzarectorCoquitlam, Bc Canada Post Number: 507 Registered: Dec-04 | sean.. can u do me a favor.. run the numbers on the post i made.. "Ported box Q for type X" and tell me if the tuning matches up.. i ran the numbers in winisd and the port seemd way to short for the tune | |
|

Silver Member Username: RzarectorCoquitlam, Bc Canada Post Number: 508 Registered: Dec-04 | thx dude il read when i get up i suppose i should go to bed lol | |

Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 859 Registered: Nov-04 |  The red areas represent the tuned openings. I see a possible problem tho. There is a much simpler easier way ill Try to draw it up as well. It took me longer to post cuz I kept getting the file to big error since i forgot to make it GIF. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3359 Registered: Jun-04 | I shared this idea with apocolypse the other day and he said if you used pvc as a port you could use a t pipe they make for pvc it was a good thought | |
|
Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 860 Registered: Nov-04 | I think it would be so much easier to just make to completely seperate ports. Ill draw it up now. | |
|
Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 861 Registered: Nov-04 |  And it would be so much easier to figure out how to actually tune each one also. |
|
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3360 Registered: Jun-04 | i dont think that would work the same as my idea | |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3361 Registered: Jun-04 | ill try to draw mine up | |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3362 Registered: Jun-04 | how do I down size the picture | |
|
Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 866 Registered: Nov-04 | what program are you using? And do you have AIM or MSN? So we can talk faster maybe. |
|

|
Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 869 Registered: Nov-04 | lmao... why is it blinking? and also how would it be put to actual use like with the box and all? | |
|
Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 870 Registered: Nov-04 | hmmm my AIM hasn't been working right in the past 3 days, it will startup then freeze on me right afterwards. I downloaded a new one but it had the same problem. Although sometimes I can get it to work. | |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3365 Registered: Jun-04 | uninstall it and then reboot and reinstall it | |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3366 Registered: Jun-04 | its blinking because of the program I used ill redo it I know its annoying | |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3367 Registered: Jun-04 | heres the new one non blinking  |

Silver Member Username: Sploosh56Ohio Post Number: 740 Registered: May-04 | i had a similar idea. but i'm sure it's alread ybeen done soooooo i'm just not gonna say it and make myself look stupid lol. it wasn't quite like that but it involved using different sized ports with different tunings all in the same port. just changed the width on them but i think it's kind of a rip-off snailshell maybe. i dunno. havn't really had the time or the money to try it. | |

|
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3370 Registered: Jun-04 | yes sean50077 | |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3371 Registered: Jun-04 | wahl we did that it worked great man!! in our 10 gallon fish tank abc box with carboard slot ports and a carboard top I was amazed it was totally musical using a 12 inch bostwick sub |

Silver Member Username: RzarectorCoquitlam, Bc Canada Post Number: 510 Registered: Dec-04 | pvc is so bulky tho.. u would need a monster of a box.. my dad is a plumber so hes got tons of pipe and stuff.. i should take a look .. im pretty sure there are "Y" pipes to which might be better suited | |
