tannoy cabinets question

Posted by blinx7 (A) on February 16, 2015 at 10:43:44

Hi
Picked up a pair of generic bass-reflex cabinets on the weekend, hoping to install my tannoy 12" golds.

These are pretty sizeable and used to house a (mismatched) pair of wharfedale 10" drivers. With the plywood flats that resized them for the Wharfdales removed, the driver opening looks to be a perfect fit for the tannoy 12s.

Got a problem, though, and wonder if you can help:

These cabinets look pretty identical. They look in fact like the old Barzilay type of supply-your-own-drivers hifi speaker from the department store or furniture shop back in the day.

But as for internal build and in measurements, like maybe they're from slightly different eras, though most differences are small/ vague. You can't tell from looking at the externals, but if you measure ....

The port sizes are different. One of the cabs has a 10½ x4" reflex port, and the other has a 10½ x 5" port. With the idea of housing Monitor Gold 12s (both enclosure interiors are 22½w x 28½h x 13½" deep)-- is EITHER ONE of these port configurations right for the tannoy twelves ?

Ports are a flat cut-out, rectangular in shape, 6½" below driver cutout.
Thanks for the advice, I seem to get lost with those online automated cab-port sims.
