been reading a lot about speaker cabinet building.
What strikes me is that a lot is said about wood choices, designs and
testing curves..I mean impedance and other.

Not much is said about how to design the cabinet around the driver.
With that I refer to the actual architecture of the box..

I've seen (and used) all the calculators on mh-audio.nl
Which is all very nice, but when you calculate the volume of the box it also
states that the enclosure can be enlarged.

So...after all the calculations for the port size, volume and such..
How do people come to design all the deflecting panels inside the box, is this done
with a simulation programme or just by trial and error.

I like to build big(-ish) speakers with full range drivers, but I also like a more
extravagant design..horns and baffles and ...lots more!

Timber...any suggestions? you mentioned a speaker building class a while ago..
how about one for a poor speaker builder in durban..
