| Box design.
I'm going to install Google Sketchup tonight and start learning how to draw boxes (love the 3D drawings NeoDAN on AVS has posted). Box material selected is 3/4" MDF. Tentative dimensions:
27.5" high
46.0" wide
30.0" deep
Driver to be centered on front panel. Twin 6" ports exiting on side panel. MDF cross bracing throughout: all the way down the middle "long wise" and at 3 places "cross wise" (spaced about 11.5" apart).
The height limit is based on what will fit under my projection screen and fit through a standard 30" doorway (with trim on it). The width is mostly limited by the size of the sheet of MDF, so it could potentially go up to a max of 49". The depth is my preference as to how far forward I am willing to have them "protrude" from where the projection screen is. Pictures of the area in question coming soon.
Edit: I'm at about 19 ft^3 using the internal dimensions, minus about 1.3 ft^3 for the ports, 0.2 ft^3 for the driver, and the rest for bracing. That sound about right? Calculating the actual volume of all the bracing is going take some time once the brace design is worked out in detail.
