How do you make ports like these?

[Spkrman]

Look inside the port (last pic), right side.Inside after the flare.Not anywhere near as one of the others you posted pics of though.

Thats actually a "lump" on the port itself, the one you posted pics of, and the last one in my post was just a test port for the paint, was a TCAB reject //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

The chrome I didn't spend any time on, and thats of course extremely unforgiving, I threw it over the coat on the pic above it just to get a quick pic and see what it looked like.

The only time there has been a run is when I first started with the blue, I put way too much on because it goes on very clear, takes a few coats to get it to build up. Again, was on a test port, and I'm not sure if there is even a pic of it.

if you sell 6"ers for 30+ shipping why was i quoted $60

i would have ran 6"ers in my enclosure had you not quoted me that much.

Thats a good deal for $30+shipping.

depends on when you got a quote?

The process was refined, supplier found, and i got things to a point where I can sell for $30 + shipping, which was the goal from the start, but wasn't the price a few months ago //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

60 sounds high though?

Either way, buy some now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

how are my ports not flared?

why are you such a wanker?

I'm sure you cant answer either of those questions

I would not consider your ports "flared", one end is gone over with a roundover....thats it.

What about the other end?

 

[rdzm50 10+ year member]

aren't they just flared more at one end than at the other...? but both are flared?

 

[tommyk90 5,000+ posts]

oh, sorry for only showing one end finished //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
the other end can either by flared using the heating method, or have a piece of MDF attached, which can also form a brace in the box...

Ummm, how are you going to brace a box with another piece of MDF without really f*cking up the airflow?

Mind drawing out an example of that? Or a completely finished port with both ends flared? Why not just flare the other end with the heating method? It would be alot easier than securely mounting a piece of MDF to the PVC, then rounding that over. 10 minutes with a heatgun and the right form=flared ends.

 

[tommyk90 5,000+ posts]

make sense?

the strip in the middle being MDF that goes from top, to bottom of the box...

Hmm, interesting.

I've never needed a box that needed such monster pieces of bracing though. Imagine having to do that for a 8" PVC port. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Would be better off just heating the PVC end and using some all-thread. Alot less turbulence.

 

[tommyk90 5,000+ posts]

well, that brace doesn't really create any turbulence...
less than a slot port would.

Anything in the box creates turbulence. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

it was maybe 2 months ago. I dunno, i deleted the PM.

I have a heat gun and i may spring for a 20' hunk of PVC or see if i can find some spare and try it myself. If it turns out ugly but functional i will be using it for my SPL setup. If it turns out nice i may do some modifications to my box. If it isnt functional ill probably be hitting you up for 2 6"ers or a singel 8"er for my SPL install. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
