Hi all, I just ordered my Two Pi Tower kits and while I wait patiently for the backorder I have some questions:

Regarding lumber I know that 5/8" is called for but is there any audible benefit to going with 3/4"? I've only worked with 3/4" MDF before for bookshelf speakers but I'm worried it might make floorstanders needlessly heavy.

Is rounding the inside of the cutout for the woofer recommended? I'm planning to surface mount unless there's any benefit to flush mount.

For the build what do I need to buy that doesn't come with the kit? Speaker terminals I'm assuming? Are there recommended mounting screws for the drivers? Any other internal cabling or anything else? What about feet? Or should they sit on the floor?

For upgrades I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron are there good crossover upgrades? And is there an upgrade swap for the woofer? Any other tweaks that people have tried?

Thanks all in advance
