[QUOTE="altoncustomtech, post: 6490410, member: 564410"] okay, okay...... it's not ideal..... while the spreadsheet CAN snap to the nearest 16th of an inch the thing that cannot be controlled is whether or not it snaps up or down.... that problem in itself makes it difficult... however, there's several books out there written on enclosure design theory and practice that say even a ported enclosure can be off by no more than 10% and not cause a noticeable affect in the sound to the ear..... most of them also say to err on the high side cuz you can add wood to the inside to bring the size down... that being said, what does it hurt to have numbers that cannot be utilized easily? Some simple math and paying attention to what your doing can easily yield numbers that are usable..... Now I will submit to the fact that jumping in that quick with numbers like this to someone who is new to the game and most likely not used to working with the numbers and rules of enclosure building wasn't the best idea, I can definitely see that now and I appoligize to the OP for giving information in the design that could be difficult to follow [B]AND[/B] for causing his thread to get jacked and go off in this discussion.
