Use 3/4” (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium density fi berboard) and seal the joints with silicone. Use the “template” inside your Solo-Baric’s shipping carton to mark the mounting hole, then cut directly on the line. These designs need internal bracing. Add triangular bracing between each of the larger unsupported panels. See Figure 3.

All the cubic feet (L) measurements in this manual include the displacement of the woofer. For the vented enclosures the displacement of the port must be calculated and added to the internal volume of the fi nal design. Use the outer dimensions of the port and multiply “X x Y x Z”, convert to cubic feet, for example the S12L3 vented Compact design’s external port dimensions are, using 3/4” (1.9cm) MDF: [ (13.25” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x (2.5” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x 22.5”] x (1 ft3 / 1728 in3 ) = .77 ft3, and add this number to the internal volume of the enclosure, S12L3’s 1.75 ft3 + .77 ft3 = 2.52 ft3. See Figure 4. Due to the necessary length of these ports, you may want to fold the port along the bottom and back walls. It will be impractical to use round ports for these designs.
