Compilation of Alpair 10.3 designs

Hello,
I am resurrecting this thread because I do not want to open a new one, and I have a question that might fit here.
So, yesterday I became a happy owner of a new pair of 10.3! :)
Ultimately, I plan to build either a Pensil or an MLTL, but since my woodworking skills are not so advanced, that may take a while...
In the meantime, I had an idea of using some existing BR boxes (some older "Technics" two-way speakers. They use an 8" woofer, but I can build an adaptor to fit the Alpair).
Box external dimensions are 42x25x22 cm, while internal (if I measured correctly) should be around 38.4x21.4x18.4cm.
That results in a volume of around 15L which should be just fine for Alpair 10.3 s...
Where I am getting confused is the port.
It has one in front (see pic).
It has 4cm diameter and is 6 cm long. Can I use the same port, or just prolong it a bit?
If yes, if I use thee same diameter port, what lengh should it be?

Thanks a lot!
Vix

Thanks Dave.
I know that the box is not ideal, but should do the trick until I get to build something properly.
So, why 10.3?
Well, compromise. Neither the biggest one, nor the smallest. Neither the most expensive, nor the cheapest...
A midddle ground.
(Truth being that I dream of a pair of Lii-18 s in Open Baffle, but that is not doable for the moment, due to the room siz3 and wallet depth limitations) :D
So, I hope that 10.3 will be goodenough... ;)
