Now your talking 4.29 net. You got roughly 2 cuft per outer minues displacement. You also have roughly 19" per side length wise. So slap that there port in there length wise and you'll be straight //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If those are inner dimensions how are you going to lose 2" ? maybe 1" if you have seperate chambers. and the 12" is the outer diameter. The cutout is at least 1/2" smaller. If your interior dimension is 13" tall the front panel will actually be 14 1/2" With 3/4 " 15" with 1". //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
