lol idk if i should be happy or mad lol. good news is im finally building a box for both of the hdc3s again but the person who got me the mdf got 1/2" lol. but i had enough left over to double all the sides. I should get it finished tomorrow i hope.
hasn't been built yet but i kind of have no choice. I don't have money to keep dropping on wood. I can make it work, Hell i can just say it's 1" MDF now right?
yeah thats what im worried about. i mean i have enough 3/4" wood to do the port but its still gonna throw it off some because the internal dimensions are going to be smaller.
If the wood isnt cut yet why dont you can get the person that brought it to you to take it back and get the.75 mdf. You may have to wait but youll be happy in the end.

Just use your math skills to determine the space taken up l x w x h and be sure to include the width of the inner port wall for width. (If you do build using .50 and .75 mdf)
if you can get near perfect cuts with a jigsaw for the entire enclosure.... Then you are better than I! lol Good luck getting it to completely seal up.. I made 2 cuts on my boxes using a circular saw and it was not pretty. The cuts were too big for my tablesaw.
Double 1/2" is far better than one 3/4". I would never use 3/4 for anything, I always use 1 1/4" ultralight on all sides and a double baffle. A 2 1/2" baffle is acoustically inert. Make sure you put a fine layer of wood glue on the entire surface so the layers become one.
Any time that all you have is a jig saw (for straight cuts) just make a simple fence out of a 2x4. Measure how far it is from the edge of the shoe to where the blade cuts, and add this length to all of your measurements. Then use C-clamps to attach the 2x4 to your mdf sheet and using the 2x4 fence as a guide you can make perfectly straight cuts every time. You can also measure normally and then adjust the fence until the jig saw blade is lined up with your marks.
