Hello, I am planning on building Carmody's speedsters speakers and I plan on using a CNC machine for all the pieces, translam stacked design.
My Question is it possible to make the baffle longer ? by approximately 3 inches going down. only the height, The original Speedsters are 10-11 inches high (depending on normal version or slotted front port version) But I don't like the slotted version and I need a front port so i decided to stick the round port in the front beneath the woofer and extending the baffle downwards by 3 inches.
is this ok ? I know technically it does something to the crossover but how noticable is it ?
I have added a picture for visualization, if anyone is willing I can share the autocad file which has the schematics for all the parts on a single 244x144cm piece of 28mm wood. Internal volume as calculated excluding the 2 braces is 5.9 litre ( how crucial is it to hit 5.5 litre exactly as the kit requires? )
would appreciate any help! 🙂 I am effectively making the baffle 30% longer going down. while the tweeter and woofer will retain the same height from the top as per the design.

Adding 3 inches to the bottom shouldn't cause any problems. You're keeping the baffle width and the driver positions relative to the top the same which are the important items.
I also wouldn't worry about the 5.9 L vs 5.5 L difference, especially since you'll be subtracting the brace volumes. I modeled the W4-1720 in WinISD and the 5.9 L vs 5.5 L change in response was negligible.
