thicker 2 pi
type: item
description: Dear Wayne, I've now got my drivers for the two pi towers, and I have obtained some 1" thick fine layer ply for the cabinets. The next question is what would be the port size for this thickness. Sorry to mess up your design but the ply was a very good deal, ie free. I know they will be heavy, but I'am a big lad. Many thanks, Colin

description: I built mine a little thicker and had the same questions. I grossed up each of the dimensions so the internal volume of the cab was the same, and the length of the port on the plans is from the front of the baffle to the back of the tube, so you just make the tube a little shorter. Good luck!
