The real way to elbow your ports...

[Bass Addict 10+ year member]

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.

i'll leave it up to you then //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah. My bad, dude. My mind must've slipped.

New port area is 35 with a 5.6:1 ratio. So, shouldn't be too bad. I'll sand the corners a bit just in case.

If you want me to make it less deep, and wider or taller, just ask. Takes me 5 minutes to re-do it. The current external dimensions are 28.75"W X 16"D x 15.5"H

Wasted_Ink is going to do a brief picture walk through, so I'll post it up here when he's done, or he can.

my second box ever made //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

and its not the perfect port. actual rounded inner and outer corners would be best. the perfect port would be strait.

It looks good. I would've put a piece in between the inside port, or resin it up to strengthen it a bit. No offense, just looks kinda flimsy.

What's the word I'm looking for...

Over kill?

But, I suppose you half-*** most of your installs, so you wouldn't know much about it. Let me try to explain, you do extra, to make sure that what you're doing is right, and is as efficient / powerful as possible. Hence why people do over-sized grounds, double baffles, excessive bracing, running RCA's on the opposite side of the power wire. Sure, you can get away with out doing any of those things, but, it doesn't mean you shouldn't if you can.

Apparently you are a professional box building, so sorry Ive stepped on your toes. Anyways I havent installed anything in a long time but there is a decent picture of a box I built in my gallery, not sure you will like it though because its straight forward and to the point.

I wasn't saying you HAD to do it this way, or you're wrong. This is just the proper way to do it. You can do whatever the hell you want. Leave it with out an elbow at all, I could care less. I was just informing the people who want to know the right way to elbow a corner, rather than just creating a bottle neck. I still don't know why you're trolling this thread.

Not sure why some people are getting on the OP's case. This isn't really a debate! Whether or not you feel it is necessary or not, the OP's method of elbowing mimics a kerfed elbow and is superior to that of a straight 90 degree bend.

Op lets see some of the boxes you've built using the elbow in the port.
