The panel is bent, OK.
When did you do the speaker opening ? before after benting ?
Any particular advise on this ?

I'm not sure what you mean about the mdf being bent. If you are refering to the baffle that the driver is fixed to its not bent, it may out of square but is only temporary. The new baffle will cover the port opening and be made of hardwood. the picture was taken with a mobile phone and has been reduced due to the limited size allowed on this forum. The mdf I was talking about sealing will be on the back of the cabinet to increase its thickness

For the bent panel, we were talking about MJL21193's speaker...

So you want to add one front panel in real wood in the front and, an MDF Panel, in the back, is that right ?

For the front panel will it close the port (under the driver) ?
What was this port for ? I thought back loaded horns didn't need one...

For the sealing, MJL21193's advise is good.

Or are you talking about the glued contact between the original panels and the new ones ?

the speakers were originally wharfedale pacific and I have turned them into horns, the port is no longer required so I intend to fill the hole with mdf or ply and then cover all with a hardwood panel.
