Posted June 21, 200619 yr http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/attachment....tamp=1150912134will be buying a 20' section of 6" PVC soon and will be making 6" port ends on a mold from fiberglass. This will be in the next 1-2 months. How many people want a pair of 6" port ends? i dont know exactly how much they will cost but it shouldnt me more than $25 a pair and ill sell 6" PVC too after i take my share of the 20' section but i need to know how many people want a pair so i know how much material to buy.post your name and how many pairs you want. When i make my first 2 pairs i will post pics and a price. If you say you want some i will PM you about an order. Im not trying to make a big profit but they wont be 100% at cost because of the time it will take and the fact that im tryign to fund a season of dB Drag.
June 21, 200619 yr i need a pair.. if they flare out as much as the real aeroport ones.. otherwise ill pass..
June 21, 200619 yr Author im taking that flare above, scaleing it up to 6" size, and that will be my mold. Im using 4-5layres of 6 oz cloth and a small section of 6" and a 6" joiner. Materials for a pair will be about $25, or that is what it looks like right now.
June 23, 200619 yr Author I may get off work early tomarrow. If i do i will tighty up the mold... need to find 6" PVC
June 23, 200619 yr Author Lowes here sells 6" fittings but no 6" (that makes sence). Plumming supply stores sell it in 20ft lengths for like $3/foot...i wanna make my first pair before i make an investment like that. Im probably going to call home depot and then drive 30min
June 23, 200619 yr if you're serious about this, you should ivest in a wood lathe and a heat gun. Then all you'd have to do is make a mold.
June 23, 200619 yr Author i have a heat gun, but im building them out of fiberglass so there is no misakes and a better lip for mouting and nolittle waves
June 23, 200619 yr Author Plans have changed, i may go wit ha single 8" port but ill still make the 6" ports. i went up to 8" because my port length for any type of daily tuning will be longer than my truck is wide (mid 30's). we are talking about a 20" port for SPl tuning.
June 23, 200619 yr TC has an actual 6" Aeroport, not that fake crap.Maybe i can pick it up and you can use it for a mould.
June 23, 200619 yr Author that would be flipping sweet. But...im still debating on wether or not to make an 8" port.
