since it is so very hard to find a place that sells 3" subwoofer ports for my mod....i decided to make some (i need 2)....i will probably use pvc pipe. but i dont konw how to make that little lip at the end. Here are some pics of a 3" subwoofer port.(3" because that would fit a 80mm fan perfect.)

My friend has worked with PVC pipe like that before to make instruments. He says that he just used a heatgun to melt the ends and then bend them out. It won't be factory quality, most likely, unless you practice a LOT, but it should work.

yea i was thinkin about that...what did he use to bend it that way...i know u said a heatgun....the way i would do it is put enough through a piec of wood. then heat it...then bend it over ther wood. i guess
