Round over bracing holes?

Frosteh · 14th September 2011, 02:36 AM

Is it necessary to round over the cutouts in my bracing (both subs and mains)? I've just finished a lot and I'd like to be done with it, but I'll round it over if it will offer any sonic benefit. All the enclosures are sealed and will be stuffed with pink fiberglass insulation at 1lb/sq.ft.

Save the time and effort for other things.

For a woofer i wouldn't worry at all. For a full range there might be some benefit (more diffuse reflections)

Cool. I'll just leave it the way it is then. Thanks for the input!
