So i built another cabinet for the zaph zrt 2 way speaker project i'm doing. The first cabinet was a sealed 20L design and even though the transient response was really good, the bass was articulate and clean, the output dropped too much <100Hz for my liking.. so i decided to build the ported floorstander 38L cabinet.
Like the first cabinet, i prefer not to go with removable baffles, namely because it is just complicated and my XO is mounted externally. My only concern is if i glue the baffles on, how can i tweak the amount of stuffing? I'm going with rockwool/fibreglass fill. Fabric will be plastered over the rockwool so there won't be any issues of the wool flying out of the cabinet, hopefully.
I'm wondering if it's a good idea to temporarily clamp the front baffles on, check out the tonal balance, then unclamp and tweak the stuffing. Rinse and repeat. I'm just not too sure if the presence of the clamps will introduce added coloration/resonance to the cabinet, that being my only concern.
Has anyone done it this way, or is there another easier method i might have overlooked?

I did the 40L ReDiscovery tower and that's what I did. Here's the photo log:

If you aren't able to see the pictures, let me know. Mostly the I used the clamp and listen to make sure the wiring was correct and to get a preview.

Hi Paul,
It would be great to have a look at your log and learn from you. I can't see the pictures though - "Content unavailable". Hope to be able to see it soon 🙂
