Box looks good so far, I've always loved the kerf look maybe ill do it on my next box, just never really understood on what size sheet it is, in assuming you just add the length of your front baffle and the port wall? Like say the front alone is 30", and your first port wall is 12" say, a normal box you'd make 2 cuts but a kerf you'd just add them right and in this case just make a single cut 42" long (in this case) right? Instead of having 2 peices

Here's the specs bealstar is right on, only an inch off lol

Nice I just kinda threw out numbers too lol, looks good though did you do that design or someone else? it looks pretty good

yeah the total length of my front piece is 63 inches.

thats bigger than it looks then.

it would be 4 net but the Z's motor is almost .5 cubes

Yeah, I heard the Z's don't need that big of a box.

I hope so, I went with bigger port smaller box this time. Instead of bigger box smaller port

that's 412cvx's design but I tweaked his original design a little and I asked jacob, caco, smd, friends, tim at audiotistics, everyone just to confirm it's a good design.

I unfortunately cannot kerf the back piece and I can't kerf right inside of the port since I'm staining the wood. But I do not think a 45 will result in a huge loss of out put instead of a kerf

[BeAlLsTaR13]

It shouldn't make that big of a difference, I just wanna kerf my box for the looks lol I think it looks great

It's not that hard this was the first time I've ever tried and I'm extremely pleased with the results

[BeAlLsTaR13]

What distance did you use between cuts on the kerfs? Like an inch or so? And how do you know exactly how many to do

[sprkn_ranger]

If I remember right, you need 12 kerfs in order to get the proper "bend" for a 90 degree bend. The kerfs are evenly spaced inside the circumference of the bend.

[HunterJohnson]

its suppose to be 12 but I did 13 just in case. You can get away with 9 on this birch but idk mdf I think you have to be pretty right on 12 evenly spaced
