The edead is to cover holes on the cheap, not really for actual deadening, lol the discussion came up in another thread too.

Aw crap you busted me haha.

So how much do you know about the V's behind the port?

I totally guessed on the gap and made it 4 1/4inches from the end of the port to the point of the V and I'm using 6inch pvc. I figured it would be ok to sort of choke off the opening. The design I was given called for 2 4in aeros mounted over/under like a double barrel shotgun.

The higher tuned ports will have allow more clearance between the port opening and V as obviously they will be shorter.

Seen it done before.....never really used it.....curious though on how it would do to build a small pyramid behind the port instead of a v.........be some compound cuts but i bet it would be cooler than the other side of the pillow.......that way it could direct air from all directions toward the port......mmmm.......i just wonder..build it then round the edges

So you're saying mount a small pyramid on the back wall, so it would point toward the port? Interesting, never thought of that one.

I have thought of trying to put grooves into a round port, to give it a rifle effect.

Well you guys will be happy to know that I cancelled my order for the edead because its on backorder.

The ****** part is my trunk won't be airtight for the show on sunday, so I might not go.

I'm really pissed because I wasn't sent an email or called or given any kind of notice, I found out when I logged in to check the status of my order.

Finally got it all buttoned up and ready to go:

For those that have never seen a G5, this is what they look like:

I have never seen a 12 this beefy with such a lightweight moving mass, 148.5g, but the sub as a whole weighs in around 30-35lbs.

They are supposed to be designed for sq, but they have no problem getting loud too.
