Out of curiosity, are the baffle wings there for reasons of Structure? Acoustics? or Design?

Gar.

They help with the acoustics in that you have some directivity and baffle performance gains. It's a design ALE used on a series of cabinets at one time, and it has some improvements over a flat baffle. I dont know all the technicalities. I liked the style of the design so I blueprinted it using that style. There are some structural advantages too. You now have a much wider baffle that can be made from normal or thinner material since it is broken into 3 areas. The back of this cabinet is the problem that needs attention. It is a large area and needs bracing to connect to the sides and front or you have a drum head.
