Modifications:
-Changed from the speaker plans a full center brace to a wooden dowel to allow more space for the amp.
-Moved the ports higher in both cabinets, again for more space.
-Use real wood for the cabinet. Cedar is very resonant, make sure you use some damping layers to quiet the box.
Comments and Observations:
More to come after a little more break-in time
