Leonids Voice Master variant, or CS10?

Hey guys,

I’m contemplating building a variant of the Leonidas VM, but instead of the F15+W15, I was going to use the F12+W15. I was planning to use the standard leonidas xo, but there are a couple of „but“‘s in there.

First of all, I was hoping to create a baffle from one piece. The VM used two baffles on the same frame with 5mm discount if I recall correctly. Soo I’m not sure how a a single baffle would affect things, or should I keep two separated baffles?
Also, the F12 I read on the forum ideally uses a baffle of about 40x80, whereas an F15 would use something bigger. What would be the best baffle dimensions for my variant? (Or how can I find out)

secondly, the F12 is a bit different from the F15, soo I’d imagine the xo could do with tweaking as well. Any suggestions how to best tweak that?

finally, I heard the cs10 speakers with the Crystal 10, and percussion sounds amazing. Bass not very deep but enjoyable and percussion did very tight and controlled. Of course this was not a live test. I am curious if I can achieve a similar sound with my setup. Perhaps with tweaking the side wings and the xo?
