Think long and hard about this. Is that a gamble you're willing to take? I can't say I wouldn't, but just be prepared to get really creative in the case that it's not close enough. If the hole is too small, you're gonna have to get in there with something to open it up. If it's too big, you're gonna have to figure out a way to fill some space, or convert it to a removable baffle setup.JensToft91 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 2:31 pm ...I don't have the driver, so I just have to hope that the dimension are accurate...
To be really honest, I've had the driver right in front of me and still cut it wrong. So, maybe it doesn't really matter after all. Well... for me anyway.
As far as putting the side on a slightly wonky assembly, I've had that a time or two. You certainly have a better vantage point, but I don't think I'd do it in sections. I've found that if I use screws and work my way down the most crooked side straightening and screwing as I go, using the length of the side as leverage, I can get it straightened out pretty darn well. Then I work the next edge, usually the short side. The final side can take some good tugging, clamping, strapping, banging , and swearing to get it as straight as possible. What that doesn't fix can usually be hidden with bondo and having the cab flush trimmed and rounded over. I think you said you're laying your cab down. If the cab's got a twist to it, consider putting 3 feet on the bottom. The tripod arrangement will eliminate any wobble in the cab.

Did you see in ecut1's THTLP build thread where he mentioned "It goes noticeably lower than the TT's and there's much more "feeling" in the bass now."? I figured that would be music to your ears after deliberating about whether or not a THT would be worth it and actually deliver the bottom end you desire. I look forward to your report soon too!
