denim: Yes, both monitors were shaking bad. I work at a mid-size engineering firm. Funny story, the structural department all stood up and none of us said a word and we all hustled out of the building, the entire electrical, process, mechanical and piping departments were staring at us.

it actually may be bigger than 20cuft net...

Right now it's at 23.1cuft after ALL displacement MINUS bracing...

It's my design and decision to determine how much NET volume we will have left...

Right before he gets done with the box, we will know what NET volume will be.

I believe low tuning is 30hz but additional plugging is allowed to let it drop below 30hz easily...
