Another Port Question (fairly complex)

[kickerlivinloud 10+ year member]

Ok I was watching Mythbusters last night and they were making a wind tunnel. They used a "honey cone"effect by using straws to help the air transition to the tunnel from the fan (or blower) better. I was wondering if this could be put to use in the car audo world??? Make a regular slot port and fill it with straw (like) tubes to the proper length. Very little surface area per straw plus lots of straws???

I was just wondering about that last night and figured I'd see if anyone here has ever tried or thought about it???

Your incite is appreciated...

You could do that. but tuning it properly would be a ton of math

Imagine what would happen if you filled a port with straws then powered up the sub. Do you think the straws would stay where you put them? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But isn't sound just air moving?? All sound is, is the displacement of air, am I wrong in this???? Generally speaking

Not necessarily, It would be annoying to do but it shouldn't be that much more math then the normal equation....

Thanks for the input so far guys. This was just a random idea that popped into my head...lol

They straws will cause turbulence.

I've thought about it but I highly doubt it. I'd be willing to trade it for a certain couple subs but out right sell it, not unless I'm broke and have no job. I think I'll keep and use it in another vehicle (if I ever get one) I'm done with the idea of trying to squeeze it into the 150.

Yea, I was thinking that they might cause that.

Thanks guys...

trade for a 10" TC-9 flat cone (great sq) + cash on my end? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
