Thanks for the links.
Amazon seems to be stepping up its game -
With world wide service/translation
Amazon Global Help @ Amazon.co.jp
------------------------------------------------------------
Interesting to note,
That Amazon is copying special sales days,
Of its main competition.
And Amazon did a billion dollars of business its
first day of this sale.
Quite a success.
However,
Its competitor, did a billion dollars of business,
In the first 5 minutes of its sale day.
Now even more -
Alibaba Singles Day 2018: Record sales on largest shopping event day
Seems i was using old data.
More recent -
The event got off to a strong start with sales hitting $1 billion in one minute and 25 seconds. Just over an hour in, and sales exceeded $10 billion, five minutes and 21 seconds faster than last year. The number of delivery orders surpassed a billion.

Hi Scott,
The reason i am asking about port location, is because i already started to cut holes for port & driver based on compact MLTL design. Now Okapi is more refined. So i am considering if i should go back and buy solid wood for front & plywood for rest to build Okapi istead. Thanks

If you're halfway through that build, I'd finish it. It's a decent little box and I see no point in throwing perfectly good work away. As Dave says -you can always try something else later, if you felt the need. 😉
There is also the Pensil arrangement, build all three and compare?
Scott/Dave, out of interest is there any particular merits of choosing the Okapi over MLTL or Pensil?

Okapi and the pensil are also MLTLs. They just have different alignments and design objectives. The pensils are sufficiently well known not to need repetition; this little MLTL I'd forgotten about, but is similar to Okapi in that it's a compact box targeting extension with a lightly damped alignment. The latter is simply a bit more refined in design terms with a couple of adjustments to the tuning and revised driver / vent positions, along with greater structural stability via various doubled panels. As enclosures they aren't as acoustically efficient as the pensils and have a more reactive / conventional impedance load.
OK - thanks to all!
Not sure if i will build all of them, because my time for this hobby is limited (work, wife, 2 kids and 1 more baby expected in autumn).
Thanks again for all the effort on design and fun discussing this in community.

They're nice to have, but the doubled panels give more structural rigidity than single-layer, so it's less critical. If desired, a couple of short longitudinal bracing panels may be added.
Link to Okapi 11MS & 7MS, please?
Been tagging along and can't seem to find Okapi box plans or description/LxWxH anywhere.

Lurking on my dumping ground thread, posts 33 & 34. Okapi (7MS) and Water Buffalo (11MS):

I have saved a load of free MA plans, is anyone able to host the plans on their respective websites, or have a sticky link to my Google drive somehow?
Late to see this post - I think we each have spouses who would challenge that assertion.
I can host them, in fact I am building the new MA site at the moment so I can put them there.
Stefan,
When you get them posted, please send me a link, so i can advise you of plans that are best found on a Woden or P10 site (ie Pensils, free miniOnkens, and a lot of Scott’s work). They are often revises or updated and best to have links point to those.

That might be a good idea before the site goes live. 🙂 Many thanks Dave. I was talking with Stefan about this yesterday as I was asked to take a gander. I was going to begin a traul through my records this evening, but you're much better placed to know the links to pensils & many other current ones than I am for obvious reasons! I can dig out some that I've done for the forum & haven't gone elsewhere, and will cast an eye over old boxes on the existing MA site to make sure obsolescent / obsolete designs are consigned to the archives.
Yes. Very much the case, and my intention. Currently many plans are all over the place.
Scott, yes i have all the links. I am still working (slowly) on getting proper pdf drawings of the misc boxes in the diyA thread onto the Woden site.
