I always think you are the "GOAT " of car audio fabrication ,hands down the best ideas and content. keep it up MARK!

I really appreciate your videos. I am a audio enthusiast, but on occasion a friend of two have asked me to build them a box. I usually Vinted style ports boxes or sealed rarely. Your videos are validated a lot of the techniques I use. It has also enlightening on many new ones. Thank you for your contribution to Car Audio and the KZread Community!😊🙏🇺🇸

Hello Mark. I'm going fulltime with speaker system production at home. Just bought a router the other day & I needed the rabbit bit information/recommendation. I have picked up some vital tips from watching your channel over the years. Thank you!

I always wondered how to properly mount this style of port. Thank you! Your videos and craftsmanship are truly top notch.

You are teaching this generation a wealth of knowledge. The stuff we learned from our mistakes. Keep it up nice job

Great video Mark, never heard anyone bring up round port bracing before. Good stuff. Anyone wanting to take their build skills to the next level but don't have the cash to get a router and router table? You can do all the cuts shown with a straight bit, round over bit, a cheap palm router, a home made router circle jig (you can find plans online), a wood clamp & a couple screws. Draw out lines for holes and radii. Clamp scrap board behind cut area to prevent blowout. Set up circle jig for the o.d. of the tube use straight bit cut to depth. Reset jig for i.d. of tube and counter sink 2 screws through the center piece your about to cut out into the scrap wood behind it. Cut out center with router ( this may take several passes lowering the bit slowly each pass). For the port brace cut the circle first then the radius so you'll have better options for securing your work piece. Follow up with round over bit. Start with less then $50 in harbor freight tools, upgrade to better when you can.

I absolutely love it man! Knowledge is power. Thank you

Love the rabbeting to mount the port! Great technique as always Mark.

Tip: gang up two pieces of mdf with your templating tape and then jigsaw/route out your inner diameter holes at the same time. Saves you some time/steps, plus ensures that both your outside panel and inside brace have their holes perfectly aligned so there’s no stress on the glue joints. 👍🏻

Very informative. Nice techniques I have not thought about before. Thanks for sharing!

Killer build and most excellent idea with the port support! Well done!

Superb video...I never felt I could be this handy but now I think I can do this.

That’s amazing thanks I’m absorbing all the knowledge. Keep up the video uploads please!

I was just thinking, why dont people do this insted,then this vid pops up while im scrolling to show my son the install vids. Nice! 😎👍👍

Beautiful man! That looks like perfection. 👍🏻

Nice vid Mark! As always enjoyed your informative instructions..

That is a clean flared port, you make it look easy.

You’re the best I’ve seen. Beautiful work as always.

About to build my first aeroport box next weekend. Perfect timing. Thanks Mark!

I love the way you build This is totally satisfaction

Can't believe I never thought of this. This is so much easier than trying to bend and mold pvc, nice job dude!

Damn, you have some serious skills. ☺️ You sure do got a lot of use out of that router. ☺️

Finally I've got what i was looking for. Big thanks for the video. 👍☺

great video...! I learn something new every time I watch.

Sweet finish, great tips.

Excellent Marck tips for a very professional job. 👍🏼

This is such a game changer for me. I'm definitely going to try this.

Very nice. Thanks for the knowledge.

Great information! I'm in the middle of DIY Boom Box project,, I'm learning so much

Definitely more clean than the way I do mine. Now that I know better I will do better, thank you sir for the great video.

You are awesome sir. I have always loved car audio, but the shops around me act like I don't know anything. The fraction of knowledge I have and your assistance I quit going to them and started using your recommendations. I will build an extremely awesome system for my 1972 chevy caprice restoration.

That is the first time I've seen that color of pvc! Thought you painted it...but I was wrong. The router would have made that evident. Cool vid! 😇😎😀

Grab a DATS program from Parts Express. Run the DATS program on your subwoofer, to get the TS Paramters. Use the TS Specs, to determine your proper tuning frequency for your specific application.

I thank you sir for this video it really helped me a lot I am in the process of building a soapbox and this is exactly the style of port I wanted to use and I had a few questions that you perfectly answered!!

Bro that looks really nice,i like the way u did the opening for the port

Thx Mark I will use this technique!

Tanks for share . Is so helpful

Nice job on this. Thank you.

Nice video since i am planing out a new ported box for my JL audio 13W3V3-4👍

@@CarAudioFabrication hey I had a quick question for you. I'm running a single 12" infinity kappa 1200w in a vented ported box. The box isn't big enough for the subwoofer so I'm having my local shop build one to spec. I'm running a SKAR amp at 600 watts at 2ohms. My question is before I give the green light which hits better a TUBED flared port or a vented port box? My local shop said a TUBED flare hits better but I don't know. Thank you I love the channel because of you I bought and running the LC2i in my lexus so I no longer lose out on bass when turned up past 45 thanks again 😊

Amazing!! Thanks!!

I always like your videos. Getting ready for my first Aero port build myself. Wish you could do a video on Tunning the port. That where I am kind of stuck at. The only pie I know is in the kitchen. Thanks

Love it!

I have 90s 12" subwoofers giants speakers box sound amazing but the box is square.need an upgrade for my 2014 VW passat and you are the guy that is going to help me build the perfect passatbox

So tempted to give making a sub box a go now

I literally made a box with a pvc port today and had some port turbulance, I will definitely try this

Looks good Mark

Thanks I learned something

That was very nice

Thank you thank you💯

Very nice.

Good job !

I’m in the research phase of my first box, I’m thinking of using a toolbox style latch to secure my sub because I do have to use my space occasionally, any reason why I shouldn’t. I’ve enjoyed your vids, very informative.

Is very good jobs 👍

This is some great info…thanks ❤

Can't wait to see how this looks in the jeep!

You have Amazing flare

I need a friend like you that has all the tools and can help me make a box real pretty

I love round ports! Great design, Mark. Would you go as far as wrapping the PVC in some sound deadening material to add mass? Just curious what you think about that - I would have to ponder it if I were building this enclosure.

This is awesome. Anyway you can do a video on how to design an aero port. Like all the calculations and building it from scratch and flaring ends? Would really be interested in that. Keep up the awesome work.

You can use an online calculator and figure out the length from your volume and tuning hz, then follow this video

how do you decide where and how to place the port or is all preference? And on another note.. thanks for doing all these videos. Man your truly a lifesaver. I had bought 3 12's a few amps and head units from a buddy. Got it home and realized I had no idea what to do with it. Found your videos now I'm hooked . When I get this box finished I'm going send you a video. You helped me get it done. Thanks

Wow I’d buy that

'Port rectification' seems to be utterly alien to most speaker builders - it was a pleasing change to see CarAudioFabrication addressing this issue.

I’d love to see him build a blow through for my avalanche midgate. It would be so beautiful

Hoping to see a finished video on this port build. Would like to see it performing in the car as well. Also, where do you order your vinyl from? The local company I get mine from is not carrying the 4 way stretch anymore.

Nice

I’m learning a lot from you Mark, my question is how would you wrap the material around the port? How far would you bring the carpet into the port? Thank you

Just did this for a box with two 8” subs. 2 cubes tuned at 32 hz using 4” port.

thats a really neat way to draw the circle, i would never have thought of that

Excellent video! Regarding bracing. Would you line them with rubber, to prevent "clatter" noise, or is glue/adhesive good enough?

Hey Mark, I would love to see the steps you would take to prep this type of port for vinyl or carpet.

How would you calculate the flare of the port when building it like the video

@CarAudioFabrication

Just like usual but account for port end correction.

A real beaut right there bubba

You should get a CNC machine. I’ve been into audio and just got a shapeoko 4 xxl and it allows me to make some pretty complex enclosures. Basically you cut 3/4” material and cut a bunch of “rings” that have the same cross sectional shape of your enclosure. Make a bunch of them than stack them up and glue em together. This allows you to make your walls as thick as you want, and you can design 3 or 4 of the rings to incorporate complex bracing that will keep your enclosure as dead as possible.

Question: when using the factory head unit but upgrading the amp and speakers, how do you get around the the AVC-LAN lines (or CAN BUS communication)? For example if the Bluetooth or Navi’s voice signal is sent to the factory amp but you are looking to upgrade said amp? Any thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated!
