rhetorical question:   why does any project that involves T-nuts also involve one of them stripping out and spinning around?

Poor quality T-nuts. I use "Hurricane" nuts on all my cabinets, and have had zero problems.

Thanks for sharing.
Hmmm... Simple front facing drivers. I don't know why, but I thought there was something a bit more esoteric going on in there.

Frank,

"Simple front facing drivers" would be visible from the front.
The bandpass duct between the drivers and the outside world is the more "esoteric" portion of the design, allowing the "sub" to be efficient in a very narrow bandwidth, about one octave from 55-110 Hz.

quote from wiki:  "A 4th order electrical bandpass filter can be simulated by a vented box in which the contribution from the rear face of the driver cone is trapped in a sealed box, and the radiation from the front surface of the cone is into a ported chamber. This modifies the resonance of the driver. In its simplest form a compound enclosure has two chambers. The dividing wall between the chambers holds the driver; typically only one chamber is ported.

If the enclosure on each side of the woofer has a port in it then the enclosure yields a 6th order band-pass response. These are considerably harder to design and tend to be very sensitive to driver characteristics. As in other reflex enclosures, the ports may generally be replaced by passive radiators if desired. An eighth order bandpass box is another variation which also has a narrow frequency range. They are often used to achieve sound pressure levels in which case a bass tone of a specific frequency would be used versus anything musical. They are complicated to build and must be done quite precisely in order to perform nearly as intended."

In this case the speakers are 'facing' the sealed box in the rear.

Uhhh...  foot in mouth again.  Art and Tim, please excuse me while I change feet.  Thanks for the education.
