Stuffing in vented boxes

[bigswede]

Remember that all formulas are only a reconstruction of the reality. Thiele-Small and all other audio theories are just theories, and can never describe the real world to 100%.

Therefore: if you can, experiment, and go for the stuffing that sounds best in your ears. Audio is an art, not a science...

dave,
not wanting of creating a new thread here is my progress. i just cut 7 braces, a top and a bottom of 35mm marine grade MDF yesterday.

my cabinet is now 47.5" (yes I use both units of measurement). Subtract 35mm x 9 and there goes another 12.5" in bracing alone.

Not all of these are really braces.

of the 9 peices i cut 4 are being used full. top, bottom, the seperator between the 6" and 8" woofers and the 4th is the base for the XO.

The XO is on the top of the box an analogy to tthe brain in humans.

will send pics as soon as i get my camera back. Next tuesday.

Same here Navin, I was taught both at school, I tend to use whatever fits! ( but mostly metric, it's easier than fractions!)

Look forward to the pics

I started in imperial units, metric was brought in when i was in jr high school and i use both, often in the same sentence like navin. i prefer metric, but because the construction industry here is still imperial (what do you call a 2x4 in metric?) i find i still start thinking about something in inches. Fortuneatly my CAD software can easily flip amonst units and has a nice feature dimensioning feature that places both units. Example

Boy, is my thread wandering around!! I've using DeltaCad for drawing my speaker plans. Its pretty simple and user friendly and supports both metric and imperial.
