In general, I'm thinking about a speaker. Let's say ported, but it doesn't have to be. As the drivers move in and out, air is moving around the inside of the speaker. And there are braces holding the cabinet together. I would think that rounded over bracing would make the air flow a little better. But when people show pics of their speaker internals, almost no one rounds over the bracing. So should I bother? I can think that it would make a difference theoretically. But I have no idea if it makes a difference in the real world. I've been reading too many books and making too few speakers.
Any reason to roundover internal bracing?

Jon, I agree with your thinking on all counts. It probably doesn't make a noticeable difference and just get out there and build speakers! While you're at it, build two sets of otherwise identical speakers one set with rounded brace cutouts and without. Swap them several times and see if you can tell which is which. Then report back- Bottom

Because when you round-over the braces, you know you've left no detail un-attended.
It's nothing but a pride in work thing. It also takes away some of the scraped knuckles and whatnot when you're trying to wedge crossovers in, stuffing, padding, etc.
