T, also if you knockewd up a small monitor then let me give you a lead that you might or not might find worth attention. I did a few monitors in my past and I have learned that whatever boards or woofs I used it always had sound and partially if you whent for LF in your monitor. I did not hear an LF enclosures that did not screw up a lower mid range. I invented a very effective way to deal with it. For instance my monitor was one 1-cub foot with middle braces. I placed it down and via a hole for LF driver I pored a few millimeters of polyurethane inside of the bottom's side. (To have sealed enclose really helps). Then, while the polyurethane is still liquid I dumped a layer of led shots. (Available in gun shop). You can use a ruler to EQ the led shots assuring that it will be juts one fine layer. Then you might cover it more with polyurethane. If you have some experience then you might start with dry led shots and then dump the polyurethane. You have to do it for all sides of your enclosure and as the result you will have a very interesting leded wood box with very interesting sonic qualities. Changing the grade of the led shots, amount of the layers and the property of the polyurethane (you might use silicone, paint or whatever you wish) you might do whatever you wish sonically with the sonic properties of the enclosures. I did it also for the open baffles panels….
