Pearl Acoustic Sibelius

Also, I understand from Dave that the added baffle thickness won't matter significantly in terms of the relationship of the driver with the enclosure... it'll be + the additional thickness further out from the enclosure volume.
More care might be taken with the internal chamfer around the opening I expect.
And remember the volume adjustments if including the recommended internal bracing as indicated on the plan variations. .
 
Keep the internal dimensions as-designed. The only variation is external. Effective vent length will be greater than designed, but with this particular alignment the difference in tuning is minimal & will be completely swamped by variations in room acoustics, listening position & amount of damping used (it's adjustable in the pensils by design).
Do thicker panels improve to sound of the Pencil?
 
Any recommended plans for the MAOP 11, I am assuming this is the best driver from MA?
I found these standard designs on the website.
I like the big one with adding some bracing here and there.

Pleasure. 🙂

No secrets, no sauces, just engineering. LF load characteristics are dominated by Fs, Vas and effective Qts' (where Qts' = Qts + any series R in circuit from components, wire, connections or the result of amplifier output impedance), so they set practical limits on the kind of alignment that is achievable with a given driver & enclosure type. Within those are then sub-sets of enclosures, and of course different design goals for different examples. Lhotse for e.g. is designed as a [relatively] low-forced MLTL, with the cabinet providing a larger portion of damping around Fb & a more modest duct length / CSA ratio relative to some more highly forced (smaller) types, hence the fact that it's taller than many. And so on & so forth.
