I'm looking for an empty ported 8" tube for my boat. I can't seem to find one anywhere. Any recommendations?

Why do you want a tube? Just build a standard enclosure.

Chances are pretty good you won't find a ported tube... I've never seen one. Go to your local Home Depot, buy a piece of concrete form (called Sonotube), and put the desired port on the far end... I've made MANY tube enclosures with this stuff, and it works pretty well...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
