Wayne,

In the detail for the midhorn its labeled with the side panels showing a depth of 14.5" and the top and bottom a depth of 11".

Is the 14.5" for the side panels the actual length of that cut and not necessarily depth? And, is the 11" for the top and bottom actual depth of the whole horn at its center and not necessarily the length of that cut?

Thanks,
Jeff

The drawings show panel cuts, so since they are at an angle, they are the hypotenuse and longer than the axial length of the horn. What might be helpful is to cut out a cardboard horn using the drawings and you'll see what I mean. That's actually how I did the prototypes - I did the drawings, then cut out cardboard pieces and made mockups, and then I took those to the cabinetmaker to build.

We also have midhorn kits that are cut perfectly, and the fit is excellent. That makes assembly a lot easier.

You've got it.

The side pieces are 14.5" long and the top pieces are only 11" long. The flare of the side pieces is much wider, and that's why they have to be longer.
