    Your one driver with the + sticker on it does not appear to have much if any opening in the gap for the voice coil leads. Machining out the gap on a magnetized driver does not sound like a good idea,...

    Those are tuned as per the size of the hole in the box even if it does not have any ducting, well it has 3/4 inch of ducting. Among other things adding ducting length to a port lets you increase the...
