The thickness of the plywood will be the length of the port.Use 5/8 Baltic birch plywood or similar... use thin poplar 3/4 stock for cleats for front and rear baffles... try to use no cleating for the corners... instead use rabbets cut into the plywood for strength and gluing surface.Poly-fill to taste.Glad you are liking the Rusty!Is there a certain equation or program you used to calculate those dimensions? I'm not really a bassist so I have no need to build a bass cab as of yet, but as far as guitar goes, building a guitar cabinet is not as specific about calculating the dimensions of a bass cabinet since there is not as much bass present, is that correct? This is a cool thread!
