Holy Yuli. How many boxes you figure you've built/tried? You seem to be big on the round flared ports.... Any particular reason over a normal wooden flared port? Some great ideas there by the way.

i dunno, many boxes. 60-70 maybe.

i dont know what you mean by flared wooden port? It is very rare that you see a true flared wooden port. the "flared" ports that thumpper makes arent exactly the correct flared ports. dont get any spl oriented ideas from those ports. they are just wooden slot ports with a bend on the end, really.

plastic flared ports are much easier to work with and tune. can you imagine trying to make a wooden port longer or shorter? how about wider? by small incriments like half inch or an inch. you'd probably want to kill yourself.

with a plastic flared port its easy. you just either cut it off or tape an extra peice to it. wanna make it wider? no problem, just install a flare with bigger diameter and you are done.

hahahaah thats because of the super homosexual way they design the mounting of the sub. do you have the new premier spl subs or the older ones? if its the new ones then they are super homosexual. if its the old ones, try taking off the gasket around the sub and see if it's still 13 inches.

if the sub is REALLY 13 inches, u can do two things. make the baffle on an angle OR (what i would do) is make the box 13 inches and just dont tell anyone. Unless u gonna pull of a crazy number no one will be checking it anyways.

I beg to differ about running 2 amps in street b. As long as the amps are strappable then you won't have a problem running 2 amps strapped in street b.
