The real way to elbow your ports...

[IDSkoT 5,000+ posts]

define "come out fine".... i've never used this method and with the success i have had without it, i don't plan on making more 45s to do it the "real way".
show me proof that it makes one bit of difference in performance and i might care...

By not having the port the same width through out the whole port, it creates a bottle neck.

yeah it really makes no difference either way.

So, I guess if you make a 3" wide port and put a 1" wide piece of wood in the middle, it won't change anything, right?

hm, come to think of it.... i think IDskot designed a box for me about a year ago for a 18 with interchangeable ports...
his designs did not have this new found method of port design...

i want a refund

Haha. I don't think I've ever made an interchangeable port design. But, I only recently started charging for designs. So, nice try.

I'm going to kerf the elbow on my next box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I was actually thinking about doing that. Kerfing the whole port. It'd be a btch to work with unless you have a really long / wide table / fence.

EDIT:: Got Bass ?, I'm tryin' to see if RE has an optimum port area... but, 49 cubic inches seems to be good. It's not set in stone yet, so, when RE responds, I'll put it in stone.

No a normal 90 degree angle port will work fine for daily. Now go back to playing with your tinker toys.

Anything will work fine. It's not about "just working." It's an attempt to make everything more efficient, and not doing things half-assed.

That sentence makes no sense!

Anyway, here was my approach to the elbow in my box. It's not as practical for ports that are much taller than they are wide, though.

maybe I should have typed it slower for you to understand.

Or you could have used proper grammar, which you should have been taught in Grade 3. Nice write-up; simple, yet effective, and it gets the point across.

Maybe it's that... or maybe it's the fact that it's a sentence that contradicts itself, since you can't elbow a port by removing the elbow.

You silly fucker! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
