so im looking to build a new enclosure for my 2 18" sundown nightshades and im looking for a good box design thats tuned to 34hz and im willing to paypal someone money for a awesome box design. Also im wondering how far apart to make the cuts and how deep to make them to bend the kerf for the side of the box where it bends in for the port baffle.

on my kerf t-line the cuts were about a half in. apart and maybe 1/16th to 1/8th inch of wood thickness after the cut?.. sounds about right

i was just lookin into kerf cuts for a little box for an E8 for my PC. i did a lil practice piece and i had mine .5" apart, and about 15/16 through the wood. if not closer. 1/8 will probably crack, as it did on me but i'm not sure if it was for sure 1/8". might've been less actually.

we used to do 1/4" between each cut so a cut ever 1/2" inch or so at the cabinet shop. nd go 3/4's through the wood. hard to explain for a 3/4" piece of wood when i dont wanna do the math.

so 3/4th's of the way through a 3/4" piece of wood lol.

and sometimes the more dense the wood is, the more likely it will crack if you cut real deep, but less denser wood bends more easily with deeper cuts without cracking...

I had to cut almost all the way through 3/4" mdf in order to get it to bend. Cut damn near right through the thing, otherwise it ended up in 2 peices :dry:
