Aero Vs Slot Ports

Haunz,

You one of those anal retentive types that like to cruise around forums splitting hairs over mickey mouse bullsh!t that has been hacked, carved and chopped to death.

End Correction Factor ain't serious business, you only make want to appear that way.

If end correction factor is such wonderful thing, then explain how adding to the length of the port is a correction when in fact is does nothing more than change the whole parameter of the enclosure design????

If one variable is changed, then everything changes, the length of the port changes, thus, the volume changes, thus the port tuning changes and in the grand scheme of things for the everyday banger, end correction doesn't mean squat.

I'm with Tommy on this one " It's completely irrelevant. " It's only relevant to you because you got a wild hair up your azz about splitting that same hair and for what, to gain .000 something cubic feet that won't even be noticeable.

Granted, when I design an enclosure, I try to be as spot on as possible, but, I'll be d@mn if monkey diking factions of a 1/32" is going to make an enclosure design sound like azz.

There's no such thing a " prefection " and I suggest you get over it.

 
Mr. cabinetry..... look at the forumla I posted again, it is based on net volume of the box....

End correction factor is serious business.. ask any mechanical engineer... clearly the physics behind this discussion reach far beyond building speaker boxes.... and if end correction was meaningless, then it would not be used to calculate port length to begin with....

This thread had everything to do with what kind of port would be best suited to a box with serious space resistrictions.... As far as I am concearned the right answer is the smallest slot port that will keep maximum port velocity under 20m/s using the thinest reasonable material for the port wall... IMO 1/4" oak or birch ply would be just fine... and I'm sure something even thinner could be found...

At the end of the day if you want to chalk the differences in volume up to being "meaningless" then you might as well go with a pair of slot ports using 3/4" material that will also brace the box.... of course two pages ago statements were made that regular ports would displace less air; and since I've shown that to be incorrect now "it's completely irrelevant" and according to you I have a hair up my ***... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

BTW, slot ports can easilly be flared.. if you know how to do a series of kerf cuts....

 
Again, your arguments are nothing more than exercise in making yourself look so d@mn smug in your single mindedness of trying to be correct regardless of what anyone says of does to disprove your logic.

For you to even accept for moment that could be wrong is unthinkable, god forbid you consider such a thought that your own ego wouldn't be able to tolerate it.

Good Day!!!
