Set your tire pressures based on the sticker in the drivers door jamb! 34psi isn't a good recommendation for every car

[@Gabriel-of-YouTube]

I wrote the worst comments...

[@AwesomeBuford]

Actually the sticker in the door jam only applies to the OE tire size, brand, and make of tire that originally came on your vehicle. As soon as you buy a different tire, even if it is the same size but in a different brand, that PSI information is not relevant. Also if your OE rim is a 16" rim with a 225-60 tire and you put 20" rims with a 245-45 tire on, do you think that the info is still going to be correct? @@SonyFoLife

“I’ve stabbed more woofers than boxes you’ve built!” 😂. Real talk from a car audio OG right there! Port flares are supposed to reduce port noise. I say that if you’re port “needs flares” to reduce port noise, your port is designed wrong.

[@yodabolt1247]

Been building boxes since the early 80's and I can agree your ports are fine. Best ports are available in the PVC plumbing section, not those stupid flared ports made of ABS plastic. I make all my ports out of PVC and paint to match.

[@oni3611]

totally agree..pvc ports are better.

[@jimjones3287]

what makes PVC ports "better" than the flared ABS ones? Do they make the box "sound better." The flare is the same principal as a kerf on a port. Reduces chuffing....

" I've stabbed more woofers than boxes you've built" - Doug 🤣🤣

[@bonzainews]

for 30 years I was building boxes with 3" or 4" PVC pipe. I was a pain to cut without a ton of plastic shards (on the table saw). Just recently I've been slotting them. No chuffing from any of my ports because I size the port or ports to keep the velocity low.

[@nicholaswagner3515]

Regarding your next McIntosh system setup, you should send the amps out to get the caps replaced. Common that they need replaced due to age. Just a recommendation. Looking forward to seeing the new completed project vehicle in 2030.😀

[@OxBlitzkriegxO]

on a miniscule level, a non-flared port would appear slightly smaller in diameter because of the boundary layer at the opening, but its a non issue in most applications. especially not in a dual 8" setup with a healthy port size.

[@BericBuilds]

My rear extruder extended port glory hole has chuffing... I shouldve flared it to eliminate the extensive chuff flap. Good to see an upload my guy! Have a good week.

[@olekristianrannekleiv762]

Flared ports prevent turbulence. Yes, the air moves "like a piston," but both ends of the port will have plenty of air moving in and out of the port, and flares will prevent shuffing. You might not hear it if the box is installed in a car as the sound output and back seats will mask it, but that does not mean your designdont shuff, a single 3" port for dual 8" subs is very small in my opinion. I use 3x 2" flared ports for a single 6.5" in a 6th order bandpass for its lower tuned chamber. They still chuff once the velocity is high enough, at this point tho, the sub can blow out a candle more than 1 meter away, but without flares, the air velocity would need to be cut atleast in half to limit shuffing. If those boxes don't shuff, prove it by feeding enough power to make the subs reach max cone excusion in your garage with low cut applied below tuning and film it.

[@jacobeshack8958]

[@brentdennard6722]

Let them hate. I did have a non flared port once with a little annoying rustle. It’s a real phenomenon. I choose to believe✌️ 🛸 just putting a radius on the shoulder of the pipe ID was enough to make it not noticeable at the driver seat I’ve only built 3 boxes

[@proffessasvids]

A flare isn't necessarily needed unless the maximum vent velocity reaches over c/10 (34m/s, the alleged threshold of vent noise). Noise is constituted by turbulent flow around the lip of the port where the vent air slug shears the atmosphere.. causing a toroidal pattern of Eddie currents (in the case of a round port). This toroidal pattern of Eddie currents can begin to interfere with the boundary layer within the mouth of the port above a certain velocity level. This thickening of the boundary layer confines down the effective vent area, posing a restriction to the vent air slug. This is known as port compression. Reducing the effective vent area will reduce the efficiency of the port at and around tuning. Employing a flare to both ends of a port negates the formation of turbulent Eddie's until a much higher velocity than the vent area would suggest. This negation occurs due to the more gentle transformation of the vent air slug's velocity into pressure at the terminus of the port. This is caused by the effective increase area in the flare region. The vent air slug boundary will also follow the flare's curvature due to the Coandă effect and the pressure differential between vent and atmosphere. The flare effectively pushes the region that can form turbulence, outward, further onto the face of the baffle so it is nolonger in the path of the vent air slug. Flaring a port will reduce vent noise and increase efficiency by pushing port compression up to a higher velocity threshold. If a vent is designed to perform, well within the maximum velocity threshold of 34m/s.. a vent flare is unnecessary. There are many many papers on it. Unfortunately, most are behind the AES pay wall. Here is a free AES paper on the subject from some of the great minds from the Harmon corporate conglomerate... jahonen.kapsi.fi/Audio/Papers/AES_PortPaper.pdf Much love doug xx

[@kevind_53]

Someone mad🤣 It's true, if a port is sized properly there is no benifit on flares. So the next project car will be a grand wagoneer with the oem McIntosh. 30 minutes at the dealer and you will be done🤣 Seriously if you are going all in on the system like you said that will be a hell of a system.

[@terry5150]

A flare makes the bass triple speed out of the bending box causing it to go 10 times faster than the last time I saw two cars racing at the stoplight, the one guy lived his life a 1/4 mile at a time . I thought I knew what they was doing, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

[@soldjahboy]

Flares only help reduce velocity of the moving air... and only needed if your port is designed in a way that causes high port velocity. Sometimes it can be from bad design or other times for design limitations. Flares won't help or do anything to a port that's already moving under 10-15m/s

I don’t think a flare or not matters.

You can move the port in but it takes volume away from the inside. Half in half out port lets you get away with less volume He mentions tuning it which I assume means bumping it and scooting the pipe in and out to what sounds healthy
