Hi all, first time/long time.
I've ordered my parts and cut my cabinets and I'm really excited to gradually plug away at this build. I'm definitely not a pro, but I've built a dozen or so designs, so not a newbie either. This is probably the most challenging design I've tackled so far, so excited to keep learning.
I have a couple of question already - Jim's directions call for rounding over the inside baffles where the PVC pipes for the mids meet the baffle. I guess this is supposed to diminish "tunnel effect". How exactly does this work? Easy enough to do, just trying to learn. What would be the consequence of not rounding over the cutout? A measurable effect? I've built a few other small monitor designs where a chamfer was suggested inside for 5" woofers, is this similar?
Also, how flexible is the design to variances in the internal dimension of the PVC pipe? I've found 3 sources and all are a bit different ID, from 5-15/16" to 6-1/4". Significant price difference between my options but I want to get this right.
Thanks. I hope to post pictures soon.
