As we all know, Fostex's recommended plans are designed for 15mm lumber...and in the US, we're stuck with inches and feet. Has anyone built a Fostex backloaded horn design using 5/8" stock...would this even work with the slight difference in thickness? Or is it small enough not to make a difference...
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
If you use MDF, don't you have the right metric thickness? Or baltic birch for that matter? I think what we call 1/2" baltic birch is really 15mm, but I could be wrong. When I build some speakes to metirc dimensions I bought a nice metric steel ruler and used that - it was surprising how quickly I adapted from inches to mm.

Hi jim_vt,
This web site helped me a lot http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/conversions.html
15mm is .59", 5/8" is .63". There is .04 diff. So, 15mm looks closer to 5/8" than the 1/2" ply-wood. The 5/8" thick ply could actually be a bit thinner than advertised. hope this helps
