The real way to elbow your ports...

Waste of time unless...

1) You're trying to find a way to improve you SPL score (which this might actually hurt).

2) You want to improve your woodworking skills.

3) You just want something different.

 
I use a 3/4 roundover bit on the inside 90, but nothing but a bead of caulk in the outer 90 AFTER the glue dries. The idea of the rounded elbow is a good idea in your mind, but does not help enough to matter. The inner 90 can whistle some if you dont round it though.

You can prevent this by running twin slot ports, and have no need for your complicated elbow.....

 
This isn't for more DEEBEEZ, it's to minimize the chance of port noise which the person I designed this for was complaining about with his current box. I don't know why everyone is getting all butt hurt.

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

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?

Haha. I don't think I've ever made an interchangeable port design. But, I only recently started charging for designs. So, nice try.
right, i mistook your user name for someone else.... that interchangeable port design far exceeded your apparent talents, my mistake....

besides lowering the tuning frequency, no i don't think it will. prove me wrong.

seems like just a gimmick to try and make a basic ported box into something special... trying to lure noobs into actually paying for one of your designs...

 
People here are so ****ing disrespectful. For people who are worried about port noise, and people who want to make their boxes and in turn their subs more efficient, this is good knowledge. For everybody else who doesn't care, this person went out of their way to try to help people, so you could at least acknowledge his kindness instead of flaming everything like a bunch of typical forum retards.

 
so the port stays the same width throughout the whole port length?

nope

He knows that... But it's far more consistent than a 90 degree port. The only way to make sure that it's cross section is exactly the same throughout the entire port is to curve the port.

I agree.

It can all be solved easily. Creating the curve isn't that hard. I guess I will have to do one and start a thread to show that it's not hard but takes some time and caution, a decent table saw and patience. And a little bondo if you are seriously anal about the exactness of the port.
