6 L5 12s box (pic)

Am i doing it right terry? lol. i need some pointers on how to flare AND flange a 6" PVC pipe.

looks good man!! and i told ya.lol

whats this going in again???


box looks good so far

its a explorer not sure what year newer i think

Looks good man, you can get the 6" aeroprts from parts express for around $35 a piece.

true but i can get them fom home depot for like 15 per stick or somthing. its alot cheaper and just wanna save some money. plus PVC is alot thicker and stronger IMO. but sanman its a 2000 ford explorer. i am dumb and forgot to send cuts to fish for the double baffle so i just braced it with a t-shaped 2x4 and 2x3 frame underneath the baffle and another 2x4 on the side baffle. i stood n it and its very strong. strongest single baffle ever lol

Looking good man!

preciate it. only took about 2 hours to assemble. cuts were super precise man. thanks again

dont cut cornors when it comes to aeros they are proven to be 3x better than pvc jut do it right the first time

not a problem ....get the right ports . Cut the box so the flairs flush in good . It will be loud

i try not to cut labor corners but cost ill cut that corner quick if i can get same quality outta it. BUT your argument was that precision aeros are better then PVC? you have experimented this?

I have...

yes seeing how i have had a crx since 2003, and competed with them i have tried it all, or watched it all tried


there is a reason they are expensive and its because it works

now if your going to use the pvc as tubes, and use the bells from the aero's this will work but ensure you smooth the Dung Pile out of the inside of the pvc


oh and i never say Dung Pile unless i have tried it

We always used pvc bt flares then cut the pp tube to exact lenght after tuning it out

some use pvc, but the loud guys use complete aero's

good info, thanks man

seen this kind of build before. Looks very good.

how much ports you thinking?

2 6s

looks like the same box i ran back in 06 in kc in my white crx

i was running 4 4" ports out it on an ab400.1 it did quite well actually

PRO STOCK 0-1000 1 159.80 PITCHER JIM 2 159.70 Sanford Jeff 3 158.40 Caldwell Judy 4 156.50 Young Adam 5 153.00 WICKENHAUSER LEE

this was on 4 powermaster 16v batts

jeff are you saying youve taken a piece of 6" pvc.. heated it and properly flaired it .. and tested it back to back with a real 6" aero and the aero was 3x better? just odd to me.... because in the other ORG ,where ALLLL these designs trickle down to our org from.. hand built areos are VERY proven. and you cant deny that.. i have a box for my civic with a single homemade 8" areo that will do 51.6s with 1300w clamped.. clamped the right way.. pretty sure they work.

Alan are you trying to say noone in usaci has the ability to come up with desings on there own that all they do is trol db drag website to steal or copy desings


handbuilt aero's are very proven and frigard as far as i know the innovator of this more so than anyone else also uses wood not plastic with metal plated bells.

so once again my statement stands the only pvc aero's that i have seen or tested that worked were ones that also used precision port bells on the pvc tube.

no i havent heated a tube and slowly formed it over something to create the bell lol.

Alan sometimes i wounder if you really think your the only person that has done anything man persoanlly i really do like ya, but you tend to forget your not the only guy on the planet man

" Alan are you trying to say noone in usaci has the ability to come up with desings on there own that all they do is trol db drag website to steal or copy desings "

FOR A VERY LARGE PERCENTAGE.. YES... BUT NOT STEAL OR COPY. BUT GET INFO THATS ACTUALLY USEFULL..


" handbuilt aero's are very proven and frigard as far as i know the innovator of this more so than anyone else also uses wood not plastic with metal plated bells."

ALOT USE PLASTIC... WOOD.. BONDO.. METAL...

" so once again my statement stands the only pvc aero's that i have seen or tested that worked were ones that also used precision port bells on the pvc tube.

THEN HOW CAN YOU SAY PRECISION WAS 3X BETTER?

"Alan sometimes i wounder if you really think your the only person that has done anything man persoanlly i really do like ya, but you tend to forget your not the only guy on the planet man"


i really dont see where anything i said had anything to do with me acting as if im the only one who has ever done anything. thats no doubt what i read from your offerings though man. i mean. i clearly said me and OTHERS have had luck with homemade ports, saying YOUR tests arent the only ones on the planet. its not a matter of if you like me or not man, its that you DONT like me not bowing down and biteing my tongue like most others here do.. oh well. carry on boys.

actually the fact that you know i have ran crx's for ever/was on a team that ran nothing but crx's/all my box's were aeroports in the crx's i have had lol to assume i havent formed my own aero's is crazy man.

many people do this to cut cost way down, and i didnt say they dont work what i said is not as well unless you put a Dung Pile ton of time and work into them.

for most its just easier to buy the precison from thriller audio, and drop them in it saves so much more time.

still luv ya booboo now pucker up

some of the best results are actually wooden rings bondo's togather/sanded/then glasses

" you know how i know you're gay".....cause you did nothing, didn't build Dung Pile.....as my kids call it....

want my kids to come over and build your crap????

The best/loudest port I ever had was a sonotube with hand cut mdf rings that I smoothed out.

Lol. "Smoothed." That's a cool word. Anyway, it was the ugliest damn port ever, but it did work. IIRC, it was over a db louder than a hot oil heated and jig flared pvc port.

Hi! I'm ghetto. Lmao. That port did a 53.8 with (4) 8's. Love me some duct tape.

want my kids to come over and build your crap????


lol wanna be when you get to my level then you can speak since you wanna bring that Dung Pile back up homie


bought/built/stole/rented no matter what you aint near what my level was and that burns you up dont it, but dont worry little guy you will get there one day

taylor is correct them sonotubes are the doodoo, and not exactly difficult to do at all

just alot of cutting/sanding/sanding/sanding/sanding some more/ressin/sanding lol

ok well if i do regular PVC. i found some a friend is giving me. how do i go about smoothing it? resin it? fine grit sand paper then paint? shurtape all over it?
