Sure. The internal dimensions were 11.5"(w) x 18.5"(h) x 8"(d). Material was plain old 3/4" MDF. The port is on the rear panel and measures 2" diameter x 2.75" long. I mounted the driver 6" down from the top inside edge. Stuffing was about 0.25lb of Holofil or equivalent. At this point there are no internal braces. Internal wiring was simple 20awg single strand copper magnet wire.

I mounted the speaker on the wide side of the enclosure in an attempt to push the baffle step effect down a little lower in frequency, and I liked the way they look. There's no reason the driver couldn't be mounted on the narrow side. The port was to the rear in the hope of getting a little extra bass gain from the rear wall.

Hope this helps. This turned out to be a very nice sounding speaker at a budget price.
