Make a narrow baffle with wood to mount your drivers, then add cardboard to get your desired shape. Measure. Measure some more. Listen. Build. Measure again. Listen. Enjoy

Thanks for the input John, however, that is not an option. I will be moving in 3 months and will probably move 4-5 times in the next couple of years. I need my speakers to sound good whereever they are... Could a far field measurement be done in an apartment, or would room acoustics cause too much error?
Thanks
