MDF is wonderful material for these speakers. Since the port length of the two π tower is set by its rear panel thickness, the Helmholtz frequency is a function of the thickness of the wood. Here are some recommended hole sizes for various panel thicknesses:
  • 1" thick panel => 4-3/4" diameter port cutout
  • 3/4" panel thickness => 4-5/8" diameter port cutout
  • 5/8" panel thickness => 4-1/2" diameter port cutout.
