Gold Member Username: Matt12490California USA Post Number: 2222 Registered: May-05 | I want to try that, but where does the actually port start when you are deciding port length. I am guessing from where it starts to flare out is the "end" of the port?? |

Post Number: 3277 Registered: Apr-06 | i was reading TTB and in thier archieves it says caddy corners do not boost spl and take away from the port volume...so thats a no go... i used the flare as part of the ports lenght thanks guys for all the positive feedback |

Silver Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 988 Registered: Sep-06 | dam driving that is very nice craftsmanship. |
Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 4123 Registered: Sep-04 | go read the TTB thing again. it doesnt help SPL but helps with achieving a flatter response. so if this box is for SQL thats what you want. also, common sense should have told you that every TTB box youve seen has caddy corners ;) |
Silver Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 422 Registered: Mar-06 | caddy corner, yuck. Sounds kinda... "sweet". 45's in the corners of either the box or the port may or may not help... it depends on the size, tuning, port area, vehicle, placement, power, and your desired freq response. 45's generally DO help spl, albeit very marginally and nothing you could ever hear... at least in all but the most specific cases. Just like resin has its place... 45's have theirs. |
Gold Member Username: Johnfiac151.9db Dail... My wangers b... Post Number: 2299 Registered: Mar-06 | How do you make the bend like that? I know the wood doesnt just bend... it would snap, do you place a board on a angle then sand\putty it? |
Gold Member Username: Logan__tilleHttp://com4.runboard.c..., Imortal Box ... Logan116600@... Post Number: 6956 Registered: Feb-06 | lol cut small slits in it. |
Silver Member Username: Fi_car_audioHades, NV Post Number: 127 Registered: Sep-06 | its called "kerf" cutting. You run a bunch of cuts most of the way through the board at a specific distance apart (depending on the desired radius of the bend). Larger radius= more width between cuts. Then you can fill the kerf cuts with wood glue, resin, whatever makes you happy and it sturdy (fill beofre bending and smear the ooze over the rest of the back). On the 45s... they can help in certain situations and in general are not bad prcatice to use (yet to see a proper one hurt). Same goes for resining things too. Thanks, Scott |

I'm jus messin with ya lol. but go check it out. he built a SPL hellboy. he thinks if he switches the Re8s with the Rlis he might gain around 2db... thats sick... but that design is no good for daily... his daily SQL setup with the rli 8s is hittin 144.8 though. thats baddass |
