“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.

RIP Russell gone but not forgotten 🙏

Doug, like you, I'm a car audio OG bringing home SQ trophies back in the early 90s. I'm a lawyer, but a car stereo-aholic at heart. I've been watching you from the beginning and I'm a big fan. Sorry you're having to deal with the nubes, but fun to watch you take them apart!

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

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.

Fuck yeah just ordered my Cockford Ballsgate stickers!!!!

Next, they're going to tell you that you need a one-way check valve for the ports.

Some of that McIntosh stuff came from one awesome dude! LOL Can't wait to see that install. Doing a sick one myself in my 1997 Cobra, should be Doug approved,,;)

As an og installer and fabricator and same age as Doug, I love this shit😂 Constant belly laugh

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.😀

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.

I remember when Doug was making that dashboard and everybody said he was doing it wrong and will never finish it.

Damn dude. That is one of the cleanest Holley dash install I have seen

Needs a flared divider or the box is gonna twist, chuff, and ignite the fumes

“Sitting in the garage unfinished and you’re sitting here wasting your time when you could be working on your car”. Well damn I never felt so personally attacked before.

Doug is the car audio equivalent of Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino

The clients dash looks awesome 👏🏻 you are a talented individual. Would love to do something like the iPad dash modifications for customers using your products . You always have great content Doug 👍🏼👍🏼

Soundman is still one of my favorite car audio bloggers been loyal since 2011. ❤

You should send Steve Mead one of those sticker's 😂

It's good to see another video, thank you for the content.

Thanks for making a video today, I knew you could do it.

Listen, hear kids Doug was conceived in the stock room of a car audio shop, never challenge the man!

Doug, I can always come and watch your videos, and get a good laugh. Control arms are chop sticks. 😂

"I've stabbed more woofers" made me actually lol

Hey soundman that's a great point about the power supply on the tablet having it's own connections to keep noises down since this is a sq unit ur putting together.

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.

Nice work on the Chevelle dash Douglas 😍

I was watching this got distracted started looking for engine parts for my jeep and i kept hearing this guy saying some funny shit 🤣🤣 I was entertained XD

Those boxes are going to bend. As a car audio professional i've seen bending boxes and stabbed more speakers since the early 50's.

“Your project car is sitting in the garage unfinished and you’re sitting here watching me” I feel personally attacked… because this statement is 100% accurate. 😢

I fell attacked about my car "sitting in the garage" while i watch your vidoes. LOL

No port huff, no port chuff, no huffin' and puffin', theres no chuffin' and chuffin'! That got me

I have been gone a while. I remember this old style video. I am glad its back.

I love using "horny" when Im describing something cool lolol usually only between friends but every now and then I'll drop one to someone I just met, like at the grocery store checkout or something, and their reactions tend to be hilarious 🤣🤣

Well shit howdy brother, we need the bass dangler back. Or as i called it, the soundman Christmas tree ornament.

Haven’t watched one of your videos in probably 5 years, glad to see not a single thing has changed!

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.

Iv stabbed more speakers then you’ve seen in real life 😂 killer shit!!!! Iam a mini truck enthusiast but got a spot in my heart for spl!! I love the vw!! Nice work OG

Man I miss weekly uploads. This channel is still one of my all time favorites, I just wish I could get more of it.

Bruh. I’m dead. “I’ve stabbed more woofers than boxes you’ve built”

Everone into small sealed subwoofer boxes because of limited space need to ✔️out the new 1500rms watt NVX subwoofers. My dad has a 15" NVX VCW v3 on a 2000rms watt amplifier and it's loud 🔊 ✔️IT OUT.

15:56 😂😂😂😂 lmao had me dead

So that sign you have in the beginning " I will work for a$$". My dog likes to hump everything and my yard needs the leaves cleaned up.

I remember you creating the dash for the Mule. That was a cool project.

😂 "but atleast my car is low !!"😅

Doug went full old man get off my lawn on the kiddos lol

Hahahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂 egg roles for pistons and chopstick for axels😅😅

Always wanted to see the dash and interior done on the mule.

Yantu must have paid a ton for that advertisement........... You seem so happy to promote it!

The inflator add made me mad. 😂”and ballz”

Personally, I've always loved your builds... You inspired me years ago with your million dollar box build.... I install 2 15in fosgate punches(2ohm ea) on a 500.1 prime at 1 ohm They are in a massive 8.4cuft 35hz labyrint ported. You sir Doug, were a great help to me during my hobby build and without knowing it helped me through my brother's suicide, just by keeping my mind off things!!!

I like how it holds the apparatus quite nicely.

love you soundman .. been a fan 4 more then 10 years !!

I don’t recall my exhaust pipe being flared

you sound like Ai Robot when speaking 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 in that ad.....

Love how modular the dash is lol! :D

Show them all what old school is all about. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Hi Doug, your wrapping technique is amazing. I allready used it on my new Quad Box. My result is not perfect but not bad either. I just need more practice and a better cutter.

Here at work we call it "Bang an old Person "

Gotta love the newbs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🔊

You should finish that dash up.... And make door trims.... and cover that centre console.... 😁

This poor industry…. I’ve been in since 97’ and I’ve witnessed the downturn in talent! With all the tech and new techniques, it’s sad to see what’s become of 12v! Here’s to all the OG’s keepin it goin’ !!!

🤣🤣🤣 I’m still laughing after all these years.

Cocksfurd Ballzgate! Gets me every time.

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.

They looks some nice boxes.

You should run as president 😂

Lol, Yungerself, that guy been messing my stuff up for years!

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

Doug I swear to God bro you always make my day 🤣🤣🤣

You should build a boat now and call it the duck Doug!

this is what been going on since I been locked away..... 1st off Big Fan... I've been watching you for years. Well until I couldn't. You still got the mule too! Man, don't let the new gen get to you bro... Its just part of the life cycle... Everyone wants to reinvent the wheel until its not a wheel. Or they forgot about the O.G's in this game. LMAO! But as usual its hilarious to watch your videos. I'm glad you're still around bro. BASSHEAD!

Great head unit on the sony i really like them ive been rocking sony for 20 years their new line of mids and highs and even the subwoofer sounds like strait quality.

New Mac system will be cool. I wonder what new vehicle it will be.

I always ask customers if they have the B&O system. Bangin Olsen twins

I love McIntosh audio. Especially McIntosh home audio. That panel looks really good the way you did the Holly screen. Gotta love how Social media, KZfaq and Google has made all these youngsters professionals at everything they do. Had some youngster tell me I didn’t know what I was talking about. He showed me his system and then I showed him mine. Then he tried to make excuses saying JL Audio, Focal, Morel and Audio Control are crap the lowest quality equipment you can buy. LMFAO

Man them batteries would work great for my 15 in my truck on a 2k amp.. love the videos!!

Love the Mule!!!🤟😎👍 it needs more love Dougy!!!!❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯

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

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. Cant wait to see the final result on that one🚀🚀🚀

Doug, how do you decide if you use T-nuts VS. the threaded inserts? Does it matter? As always, love the episodes, and can you please bring back the Bass Shakers, please please please?

alternator can cause a whine sometimes on high level input amps i have noticed.

Boom and there it was if your ports the right size you won't have chufing anyway

"I've stabbed more woofers than you've ever seen! "😅😅😅😅 That's why I watch your vids.

I installed a system in a convertible the guy was happy at first. He came back a month later trying to get a refund saying it ain't loud enough lol. I told him it was not going to be the same as an SUV with a system in it. He was happy at first. Then i guess after a month he got used to it. I was like nope no refund now its a little late. He called the police. They did nothing.

Delete your hole... LOL. Too much fun for a Tuesday. Thanks Doug!

Great job playboy. Keep up the quality sounds.

my wife saw the the screen and said you got "Old and fat" stay winning brother!

Woofer pokin Doug is almost as hilarious as phony scotty kilmer! More fire mo betta!

Wait, I heard from my best friend's sister's boyfriend's gay lover that 1/4 inch wet particle board was best for sub enclosures. Another person told me you don't need a port if the enclosure panels aren't cut straight. I believe him because his clothes match.😂😂😂

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.

Doug if you can take my abuse you can take anybody love ya brother 😂

I have this same attitude at work

Had to bring up stabbing woofers 😔 kept 2 nib oz audio purple 12's for years. First freaking thing I did when I decided to use, stabbed both 😪 Port tips are like 😷,a fad. Kickass video 👍

Hey Doug, they have some cool toilet flanges at the Depot for flared ports. lol!

Still have my istreamer when i bought my 6+ side slider kit from you ages ago

lol Yeeeeeeeees!!!! "I have stabbed more woofers than you have installed". I admit i have poked a few holes in surrounds. Had to tell a guy "DUDE! I have accidently broke more 2 stroke piston rings than you have watched videos of people installing them.

Are you keeping the jl box in the there I watched that build years ago. Absolutely beautiful!

Jerome and Landon 😂 Jizz Llama
