horn brace placement J12L

#1 Post by fender3x »

May be a dumb question, but I was thinking that I might build a horn brace placement jig to get the braces exactly even... and I noticed that the plan says to place them "spaced evenly, roughly 4 1/2 inches apart." If they are spaced evenly, though, shouldn't they be closer to 4" apart? If I were to get things perfect for the first time ever 3 15/16" apart? Or do I put one in the center and the others at the top and bottom of the baffle opening? I am guessing it doesn't matter and I am being too literal minded here... Please type slowly as I don't read fast.

What I found in Sketchup is that you are correct with the ~4" distance. I clicked on the "move" icon, clicked on the side braces (which were in a group) and then had good access to measure the horn brace distances.

There's no need for them to be perfect. In this case close enough is close enough.
