Thanks Perceval. I will go with your suggestions. Will add 1cm to the width and leave everything else the same dimensions.
A TABAQ with W4-1337SDF is born today, it is connected to ZM SissySIT. How does it sound? Wonderful! Wasnt expecting the sound to be so full. Thanks to Song for his help in putting the TABAQ together and Bjorn for sharing the design.
VERY nice!
The laminated base looks great.
We don't often see the 5" versions.
Should be really fun to listen to.... But did you forget to add speaker terminals? 😉

I see them. The 4th photo with different views shows a side and front view. If you look closely you’ll see the terminal cup at the bottom.
Are these cabinets slightly tapered from front to back? The more photos you share the more it looks like the front is wider than the back.
Gytisk, Very nice indeed... attractive looking. How many hours do you have on the drivers? I will be interested to read of your experience with their bass capability and voiceing ability.
Yes they're tapered from front to back, because driver diameter is too big to fit in calculated rectangle cabinet. I decided not to play with additional baffle plates.
Thanks plund,
drivers are new, currently not more than 20 hours with variuos music, mainly rock.
My room is quite small, 13 square meters, speakers standing near wall, there is enough of bass in TABAQ enclosure. Regarding voices, first impressions are good, may little to bright, but need to investigate more, because currently listening with D class TPA3250 amp, which are bright too, later will try with A class amp. I think directivity could be better, but in general is OK.
Vent path length
I am planning to build TABAQs with the Peerless 830987 Drivers, using the plans given in post #2018 (TABAQ UPDATE 2).
But the vent path length (through the centre) according to me is 1,2 + 5,7 + 0,6 + 0,6 + 1,2 = 9,3 cm, and not 9,7 as stated on the plans. If the vent length must be 9,7 as Bjorn also indicated in post #2266, then should the measurements be changed as suggested, or am I missing something here? Not that 4mm is the end of the world.

So sorry Bjorn – my mistake. This is sooo embarrassing – I am a math teacher by day! 
Very very nice build congrats and finally I found exactly what I was looking for, I am about to receive pair of W5-2143, can you please share measurement of the enclosure? I am not good at all on calculating from Bjorn simulation....all the best
HI. I was measure 2143 very close to manufacturer t/s
What do you think about 2 x 2143 in TABAQ. First problem comes to my mind, drivers placement wouldn't be at 1/3 of TABAQ length
