It's like Nelson's slot loaded open baffle but with the "wings" folded back. YOu can load 'em with the drivers back to back with connecting members to tie the magnet assemblies together for tight mechanical coupling. I'll post a drawing later when I have some free time.
Just listening to it now.
Sounds quite good.
I will say one thing. Dual woofers (or more
) really add the extra bit of realism to having a live performance in your room.
The plan is to do a slot loaded version of this when my truck load of woofers arrive

The response curve is no where near as good as PHY.
There is a broad 7dB suck out around 500Hz.

Just talkin general shape more than implementatation. basically a modified Phy baffle. I am not sure, but I think that the shape on the back of the FrugalHorn of Dave(Planet 10) affects the response. Also noticed that JohnK's new Audio Note had similar shape at base near woofer section. Could be for looks and I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.
Considering how small the baffle is I am starting to think this is actually not a bad result.
I will try and improve it further

I decided to go with 55-2981 and 55-2982. I could get 2x12 for the price of one 15 so it was a no brainer. Hopefully should see them soon.
The 55-2981 is the main driver in the Hestia build. I can say that after auditioning many 10" drivers in the sub $75 class, this worked the best in my design.
Did you use a promo code when you checked-out? Also, there may be some mechanical noise from the rear of the drivers since they are fairly stiff out of the box. The spiders will loosen-up in a short time and any noise should go away.
