In my own build I am using a Fane Sovereign 12-500LF.
The two bins I bought in have Fane Crescendo's 15 inch.
That's as much as I know.

12" - interesting. Bass guitar or PA use? And do yoi have ability to measure response once built?
I powered it up tonight for first time.
It sounds OK.
It works OK up to mids.
I don't currently have the equipment to do a full response test.
I was thinking of using it for a mobile disco if I decide to get back into that.
Still needs tidying up a bit. Carpet needs trimming and carry handles need fitting.
This is how far I have got.
Still needs tidying up and hoovering the saw dust off it.

Here we go again, second version for a 15 inch speaker this time.
I learned a lot from first build so this time should be spot on.

Got a little further.

My cousin has two W-bins vented @ 35 Hz currently doing bass duties in his club. FWIW, I found that they sound considerably better in the upper bass region with the addition of cross-bracing between the center chamber and the sides of the horn.
Yes, Cerwin-Vega always brace across the middle.
If the panels are wide they can vibrate.
My first W bin was 16 inches wide and the second 18 inches wide.
Not sure if those widths need bracing or not.
The Fane W bins I bought aren't braced.

An impedance curve measurement can quickly indicate whether or not the bracing will help. If the curve shows an almost non-existent or badly-formed upper impedance peak, or any noticeable and unexpected ripples in the passband, then bracing should improve the response.

Driver arrived in post, a Fane Sovereign 15-400LF.

Wired up speaker and attached side of box with glue.

Got it covered today and handles and corners on.

A side on shot showing the handles. Sadly they have to go half way down the side which is a bit low to be comfortable to lift.

Found an old Fane 50WRMS 12 inch driver needing a box so started on another folded horn for it.
