Ok I cam accrost 1 piece of alluminum piping about 30" long and 2" in diameter. I want to try and use this piping but i dont know how I would secure it in the whole. Would I just try sillicone or does someone have a rick they are willing to share? Thanks!

 

2" is rather small. You may introduce a whole lotta port noise!

 

I agree, I usually go with 3" diameter tubes and theres no port noise!

To secure it I usually make it fit tight and then put some bulldog grip sealer on the inside of the box, around the hole. I would think silicone would be too flimsy for my tastes. However, it shouldn't really fall out if no one kicks the box or anything...

 

grr oh well Ill try a 2" tube since thats all I got!

 

Make the hole for the bots tube a really tight fit [img]smile.gif[/img]

Or, you can make the hole really small from the front (Like an inch or somehing) and rout out a 2" hole half way through the wood, then epoxy your port tube in (out sidewalls of the tube nore than inside walls) Let the epoxy dry, and use a flush trim bit with your router inside the little hole to make the hole the exact diameter of your tube.. then use a round over and make your port rounded [img]smile.gif[/img]

 

Or you could use a larger port and not waste your time.

Id listen to others and use at least a 3" port.

 

Yea but I dont have a 3" tube avalible! Listen to what i am saying!

 

I plan to put 2 2" ports btw not just one and they would be about 5" - 6" long
