[Hallicrafters] Reproduction

Carl,

I believe that you would be disappointed with different dimensions.

Bass reflex is dependent upon VERY specific volume measurements.  I've 
built enclosures for auto installations.  Makes for pocket change!  
Figure a way to add depth to the enclosure.  Should be easy pickings for 
a "auto body" man!
