>Hey GM: wow thanks again for a great post. I'll copy your solution, except I'm thinking to make my removable mini-baffle circular for aesthetic reasons. do you think that will screw up the sound?

You're welcome! No more so than mounting the driver on the rear.

>Your diy VOTTS are cool. are you happy with them? what amplification / x-over are you using?

No, not really, but then they're just a temporary solution with a mildly damped horn perched on top of a pair of cabs originally designed to 'pump up' the <80Hz BW back when I had ~70Hz corner loaded horns. Amp currently is a tweaked early '70s Sony TA 3200F. XO is a stock N501-8A with the connectors modded to accept larger wire.

Cab Vb/tuning is fine for ultraFI, but really needs to be either a MTM or bipolar layout for a typical size room and needs to be bi-amped/digitally EQ'd, or at least use a series XO and passive shelving network for the HF.

That said, they're still better IMO than virtually all the consumer gear I've been exposed to.

>I hate stuffing so I'm planning to deflex panel the back wall and leave the rest nekkid, any thoughts on that plan?

I would do the top (or whicher end is opposite the vent) and at least one side also.
