Posted March 25, 20169 yr I'm looking at piping for a 12" port for my next box; please for fucks sweet sake tell me there's cheaper 90* bends out there than four hundred dollars. I just need a 12" port 48" long to get my tuning. I don't want the box more than 42" wide, so i'm looking for a bend or two this is the kinda stuff i've found so far http://www.lowes.com/pd_574544-1814-PVC+00300A+2200_0__?productId=50114329http://www.homedepot.com/p/Charlotte-Pipe-12-in-PVC-DWV-Vent-90-Degree-Hub-x-Hub-Elbow-PVC-00300A-2200/203950072?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D26P-Plumbing%7c&gclid=CIa7vLPw2ssCFQ6maQodb7sJAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds http://www.pvcfittingsonline.com/12-class-125-street-elbow-90-c609-120.html?gclid=CK2Ys8rw2ssCFZGIaQodxQUPoA Edited March 25, 20169 yr by SpeakerBoy

March 25, 20169 yr Build a slot port and skip the pvc. you can also bend it by heating it with a blow torch. Is it 'safe', a perfect solution or smell good? NOPE. But it can work. J
March 25, 20169 yr Author 3 minutes ago, ///M5 said: External or slot. What do you mean? Was planning on an internal 12" port, provided I can still find that guy in town to make flares. I don't like how a slot looks plain, I don't know how to do kerfs either. Edited March 25, 20169 yr by SpeakerBoy

March 25, 20169 yr Like Godsmack said you can bend the PVC, look for a local irrigation shop. Stuff is super cheap and very thin. If you take a heat gun and heat it evenly you will be able to put a bend in it. But honestly, I would just do a slot port instead of doing a PVC port.
March 25, 20169 yr I had a 12" flared port, built out of fiberglass and it was external. I never liked the idea of PVC elbows due to cost.
March 25, 20169 yr I would just hold off on that. Not worth it forreal. . Wont hear any difference doing a round or kerfed port.

Bedliner and a nice flare is good enough for me. On the topic of the frontstage, I got the components in and re aimed, while better xover points are helping, I think I just need tweeters that like a lower crossover, and a set that is both more efficient/can handle more powa. Overall though, not super impressed with the fosgate shizz though, sounds like strumming frayed c-word hairs. lmao i've never been censored before ^^ Edited April 4, 20169 yr by SpeakerBoy
