Hi Wayne, I'm just cutting out the sections for my bass cabinets and thinking about changing the style of the rear section - the 'pointy' bit. To soften their looks a bit I was wondering if I could radius the angles instead of having them sharp? This would also mean the rear panels on the apex couldn't run the full width (12 3/8") but would be reduced to about 7" in the middle of the angled part. Would there be any sonic changes in having a wide gap at the apex (rear where it faces the wall) of the cabinet and not having the panels going fully to the outer edges? I hope that makes some sense?

Can you draw it up and post or send it to me? I'm not visualizing your idea.

The main thing is the cabinet that loads the woofer. The rest of the cabinet is essentially a positioning device.

I think you answered the question really, but I'll do a quick sketch later and post it for you comments anyway.

Thanks.

Sorry about the childish quality, but hopefully you can see what I mean now?

Oh, yes, very good. That's actually a very good sketch. What you're doing will work just fine.

Although the next post should be a picture of them up and running, only a few little bits and pieces to do now.

1st set of 7 Pi's in the UK?
