Use
3/4"
(1
.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium density fiberboard) and
seal the joints with
silicone.
Use the
"template"
inside your
Solo-Baric's
shipping carton to mark the mounting
hole, then cut
directly
on
the
line.
These designs need
internal
bracing. Add
triangular
bracing between each of the
larger
unsupported
panels.
See
Figure 3.
All
the cubic feet (L) measurements
in
this manual include
the
displacement
of the woofer. For the vented
enclosures the
displacement
of the port must be
calculated
and added to the
internal volume
of the
final
design. Use the outer dimensions of the port and
multiply
"X
x Y x
Z",
convert to cubic feet, for
example
the S12L7 vented Compact design's
external
port dimensions are, using
3/4"
(1

See

Due to the necessary
length of these ports, you may want to
fold
the port
along the bottom and
back walls. It
will
be
impractical
to use round ports for these designs.
