I need something more permanent than foamcore. Tinster, it was reflections inside of the cabinet that was making it sound horrible. and the large 12"wide x 41"tall baffles on each side. And I also think the multiple drivers in one cabinet may have not helped either. I 've come to the conclusion that I need a small as possible baffle and a sealed enclosure but with no coloration's and the same clarity of an OB except slightly better because the rear reflections aren't adding any phase anomaly's. At least that's what I was shooting for. Something like the planet killer from star trek.

XRK, I was picturing flat ply sides with 1/8 aluminum making the curves. But I think I'll end up with the dagger design (I'm deeming that an official name created by you ) for it's ease of construction. round like the B&W would probably have advantages but not real easy to recreate.
Cradeldorf,
I like the "Dagger" and already have the marketing tagline: Penetrating transparency that stabs your attention...
Get me your favorite driver that you want to use and I will come up with the ideal Dagger dimensions for you. Are you talking bass, midrange, tweeter, or fullrange?
A triangle dagger shaped box is indeed easy to build. having a 3 foot rear extension ensures that proper spacing from driver to rear wall is strictly adhered to.

I tossed a couple of design ideas together in illustrator. I'm using Fostex Fe103En's and they will be doing full range except for what the sub fills in at the bottom. Technically I could do 4 daggers per side each with a different range. I wonder if that would be a good thing ? Actually I think I will stick with one as you get the best sounding pin point accuracy.

anyone tried this ?
Is this a wall mount? Looks interesting but you have to get some padding right behind driver for main back reflection or put a cone deflector there.
Oh it is sealed?
no, its more like a Cornu, just much simpler conical
4 backloaded midhorns
4 sided OB with directivity

That is what I originally thought but then you said to completely stuff it. I guess you are trying to keep HF's from coming out?

I was guessing on something like that too
as long as you can keep the back wave from ...
not even a tube will do very well in that respect, so no I can't promisse you that
