PICS of my 1st slot port box build

Shouldn't be.To 45 the corners you need a piece of wood about 4" wide, cut the edges on a 45 (both sides) and fit it into the corner.Kinda like crown molding but vertical.Kinda like thisView attachment 26501062

Just remember this will take away from the internal volume as well.

Almost. It's far less effective if the 45 doesn't keep the same port width throughout. Calculate the distance from the port corner to the outside corner the port width away. Draw a line from that point diagonally to the side and rear of the enclosure, and that's the width of the piece you need.

I just thought he would know that the port needed to be consistant throughout since that was what the problem was with this build.The 4" was just a general number and not to be used exclusivly.

Thanks for the help PV

No you want it consistant throughout in this particular application.Just sandwich that wood on there to get the distances the same and you'll be good to go.

ive always got good output on my L ports when i make the inside part about 1/2" wider. dunno why though.

I highly doubt your going to hear a difference by that extra 3/4 of port area back there.... ive accidently put my port on wrong like that befoe and didnt notice til after it was glued, sounded fine tho.... is it optimal, of coarse not. Will it work, it should

Ok, U mean like this. Ill have to cut the right length tho

Its to late I think to pull of the other port as its glued down solid so wont do this.

I also have this liquid nails & was going to use as a sealant but I have been told on here b4 NO

Im going to cut the hole for the sub but Dont wana open up a new discussion here as to having it sub up on top or on same side as port. Will this make a difference however

i only use heavy duty liquid nail in building. dont need clamps when u mix liquid nail and brad nails. and u can play it as soon as u get done building it cuz the shit doesnt run everywhere

 

[audioarsonal 10+ year member]

That is how you should do it.Screw,glue together and good to go.

And PLEASE don't use Liquid Nails!Just get a tube of silicone and use that.

As for sub placement it depends on the vehicle.Pick one and if you don't like the way it sounds build another box.

if i was u i wouldnt even worry about putting that board on.

PVA-II glue is better then liquid nails proven.Don't use the stuff if you don't wanna get flamed.

 

[riddla 10+ year member]

Thanx for ur advice on that one. So many mixed reviews on this stuff but Ill bring up another post one day about it.
