After focusing on the exterior of our new winery for the past few months, I am finally returning to speaker building for our dinner theater inside the winery.

I constructed two more 1pi speaker cabinets for the surrounds, but just realized that I used 18mm Baltic Birch and did not account for the extra 3/32" that the 18mm has over the 5/8" stock that the instructions call for. This means the internal space of my 1pi is 3/16" x 3/16" less than what the instructions call for (if my math is right).

Wayne (or anyone); what should I do? Is that an acceptable margin of error that will not have any audible difference than if I had cut it an extra 3/16" wide? Do I scrap them and start over? Thanks in advance for the advice.

P.S. The winery as it looks right now with its new roof. In two weeks the whole building gets stoned to look like a castle. Smile

That building looks awesome! Please post pics when it's done too, will you?

As for the cabinet, don't sweat it. That's within tolerance.
