Hello there,

I have a stack of six 12" woofers that I would like to build a cabinet for similar to this one,



the woofers are the MCM 55-2973

This is more of an experiment than anything else.

What sort of spacing should I be using?

Thank you,

David.

This page recommends the area of the opening be 1/4 to 1/3 Sd -

  Really nice $443 for parts a VG deal. Looks great as well.

Where did you get $443 from? At $13.29 each, it looks like $319 for a swarm of 4 sets of 6 (plus shipping, of course).

Oops, my mistake—I should have clicked on John's link!

I didn't know where rollo got the number from either... (the point of the link was the info about the area of the opening and hence driver spacing)
