12mm would do fine… bracing always helps but you’d probably be OK without it. A holey brace, that also braces the driver to the back of the box would be worth going for. You’d want to increas e width by 8mm to account for the volume of the wood in the brace (assumming 30-40% holes)

whence these names, Scott? At the least I'd expect a Sasquatch to be to a larger beast that this 🙂
I dunno - any reputed photos I've seen of the mythical man-beast of the wilds shows it hunched over somewhat. At least the Giraffe for A5.2 made a little bit of sense - tall and skinny from the neck up - but of course, no legs.
Just being silly.

Thanks, I will have a good think about how to go about it.
Is the height and position of port the most crucial element to this deisgn? Eg, you mention increasing width to accommodate the brace, can it be thinner/ deeper as well? The port would change by 8 mm width.
But like you say, this may be academic as bracing isn't essential.
Thanks to Scott as well!

I’ve updated the drawing & link in my earlier post. Scott did specifiy a Zvent, but that goe sout the window with th eslot vent.
You can change the aspect ratio as long as the net cross-section remains at 13cm2. Don’t make it too skinny (early reflections leed to cupped voices) or square
You have to take care with the slot vent version if you change aspect… the length, width & height of the vent all change.

That's brilliant, thanks!
What does look appealing to me is to switch the depth and width around to 118mm deep by 110 wide as per the original spec. Sorry to trouble further but if I went with the slot port how would I change the port dimensions? I take it that the width of the panel making the slot is part of the length of the port?

Easiest to just leave it and fire it out the side… its time to go to bed (03:15 here), do you want it out the front and 12mm with a brace?
I can figure that out tomorrow.

12mm with no brace fits my implementation best as I will be using the higher mounting position for the driver and at that position bracing will be ineffectual. Am I right in assuming that?
Wow, you're up late bro, rest! And if you do have time for the slimmer 12mm non braced slot port version at 110mm wide I would be bowled over, thanks for all the work so far!

It turns out the switch to 118mm depth is pretty much compensated for by the reduction in material thickness so the vent does not change.
I have added this detail to the plans and th elink updated in earlier post.

Hi, thanks, had a look but the doc is still the same? Really interested to see it, thanks!
All internal measurements are the same, I take it?

Amazing! I am so stoked to get going with this next weekend. Girlfriend is away for two nights so plenty of time!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Yes all internal dimensions are unchanged.
Do let us know how it works out. And we expect pictures.

Yes! This is my first build that will hopefully rival (or be an interesting contrast to) my normal Genelec 1029a mains. I've mainly built subs before so this will be new territory!
How important is the flush-mounting of this driver?
Due to the narrow baffle it means it might be tricky to do so, I am about to buy a router and hope I can wangle it but if not will the sound the suffer?
