Yes it looked similar. I could recognize your style even before reading it was coming from First Watt.
Have you had opportunity to listen to their woofers? They look to me interesting compared to what's on the market, maybe a bit pricey.
Well, all in all, the sloated thing seems to be the thing I will change for the next move.
Sorry to say now :-(

I can try ;-)
I have the feeling that running both front/sloated results in muddy bass.
I actually prefer the sound when the sloated one is disconnected over running both.
But of course not enough bass output, for sure.
My guess, a PAP clone will give better results.
Will try asap.

I have a feeling that the wings might cause it, which might create a sense of 'boxy' sound - who i am to judge it - 😀
well I dont use any wings, i will also try slot loaded only and a combination of slot loaded + plain baffle.
right now with plain baffle, my favorite setup is to put the lowest xo around 30's Hz and increase the volume. I love the feeling on my feet when I can feel the floor is shaking 😀

Possibly of interest, I am preparing some B5 type DIY crossovers for
the store, suitable for these types of projects. They should be done in a
month or so.

Yeah, that is what I was waiting for!
I definitely must have one, maybe two, because of my balanced mania. 😉

Wow that will be nice, I have bought a pair of the SAL08C08 units and want to experiment with open baffle... what a timing🙂😀
I have two pair, and they will definitely be one of the primary arrangements
for the crossover, along with some others like Lowther, Fostex, Tangband,
Audio Nirvana, Feastrex.
Even the Moths.

interesting reading , in context :
race for the bottom – lab jc
(yeah , Papa stashed zillion of Moths , if I remember well )

I'm a dirty male chauvinist racist, but I like it:

Not the music, of course.
Moreover, it is much much better, if you mute sound.

I remember having read somewhere that Nelson's active crossover for the slot loaded had both drivees in phase. On my side I run in Basta a simulation of a PAP open baffle and find that inverting the phase of the woofer is necessary. So is there any chance that you have to invert the phase of one of the two woofers when using them together?
I have tested the slot loaded on 1 side, another on plain OB. I'm just surprised that with slot the bass is gone, whether my calculation is wrong or the driver maybe does not match slot design. it seems that I'm not in this league. now I'll stay with plain OB, the heavy slot can be used as stabilizer.
