Oh, no! A swapping speaker driver thread!!!

I was really impressed with the video editing. Looking forward to hearing what the ports do to the sound.

I did.  Would be fairly straightforward to fashion a new baffle looking at it.  Was just thinking initially of doing the easiest thing possible to start with!  I’m not expecting miracles, just an improved low frequency.

Measurements are 12cm x 30cm x 23.3cm, and there are ports (dammit) 2 x 4cm.  Going to hook the amp up to something else to see what it sounds like....

Those are not ports, those are holes. 😊

They're ports alright, albeit not very long ones.

Potatoes, potahtoes, they’ll be longer tomorrow when I murder my pillow to stuff the cab with!

Don't literally stuff the cab. You do that with sealed cabs, but not with ported. Ported cabs are lined with damping material to reduce internal reflections. Sealed cabs are stuffed to both reduce internal reflections and to lower the speaker Q. You can find out what that means and a lot more here: https://www.ht-audio.com/pages/SpeakerBasics.html
