some say 1/3 of the kerf length is actual port length. it depends on how large the kerf is. if its an inch then it is basically noneffective. another rule of thumb is 1/2 the length. i haven't found any published literature confirming any calculations. for box building purposes i add 1/2 of the kerf length to the port length and the tuning should be close to the calculated tuning in torres.

If your kerf is 12" long then 6" of it is added to port length.

Or 9/4.5, 8/4, etc etc etc.. you know, that thing called "half"

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.
