Re: My SS RL-p15 build


Got the invoice, and Mike will ship the drivers as soon as my bank send him the money.
I've been learning sketchup tonight, just looking at some different enclosures. I initially thought to make it like a sonotube, only square. I like the small footprint. But then I though maybe have the boxes wide and low. If I do that the port will exit at the front baffle beside the driver. Any issue with that? What is the recommended distance from port to driver? Still the regular port diameter? Also, if I have a good internal flare, can I go less than one port diameter from the back wall of the box?

If I decide to go the 'tube' route, is this enough bracing?
I haven't made any cutouts yet. The driver will go in the bottom, the port out the top. I'm planning 1" MDF, maybe 3/4" for the braces. The top and bottom will be dual layer MDF, since they have no bracing. How much room do I need from the back of the magnet to the closest brace?
