PERFECT! I know one of the biggest AH-HA moments for me was directly related to what you wrote.
I found them. They are in a Word doc that I copied into from a website that used to exist, but doesn't appear to be around any more. It may need some tweaking before you put it up somewhere, but you can download the file here:
Very interessting material and I think it could be in the advanced category.
Found thru lspCAD Forum (yahoo groups). Credit goes to a guy named "ergoesken".

I can vouch for their software package, ATB-PC Pro. I've used it for a few years now and find it quite sensitive. Mr. Kirschner is also responsive to personal email questions.
The two links on box building / mdf, while I know they come from a respected source, are wrong or misleading on several structural facts about mdf. They also conflict with each other on several points.
Well, I think you are right. And oddly enough, they seem to be written in a time and/or place when/where mdf was extremely hard to find and more expensive than plywood. BUT regardless of the inaccuracies and oddities of these two articles, they ~ accurately sum up the culture of this forum wrt mdf, which is arguably more important than a heap of real objective information that can easily be found elsewhere.
I haven't had a chance to read all the links, and I'm sure I'll have small nitpicks with at least a few of them, such as WinISD being the only suggested modeling program (unibox is better, hornresp is better still) but overall I think this thread (the first post at least) is a great idea, a very valuable resource.
Maybe add some info regarding suggested books, like the Loudspeaker Design Cookbook, and Speaker Building 201.
Published References would be a good section to add, including links to publishers and sellers (if sold by PE) of reference books like those above, and, of course, Floyd Toole's Sound Reproduction.
It could also include links to useful internet references not directly linked to loudspeaker design, but useful to those trying to get the most from their speakers. I'm thinking things like the Welti/Harmon subwoofer number vs placement work, Kippel's papers on distortion and auralization, BBC papers on bass traps, to name a few I've used recently.
At the same time, don't sacrifice fundamental usefulness; this can't be all things to all people. This is a great resource; keep up the good work!
