Ok I got ya...well it still made them look nice...also did the Extra space from moving the speaker forward in the baffle affect the tuning/tone...I don’t know a lot about the symbols (f0,f3,f6,fs...etc.) but I have learned that area volume and shape are major factors in proper tuning.
Thanks Dave
Also I read the post from waxx about the wall space issue for the fh’s and wanted to know if you think that’s an issue I’ll have to deal with. My living room is not large at all and bringing them out off wall would be an issue so would a front port be more for my situation?
FHs use the wall behind to make the mouth virtually larger. How far from the wall depends on the room as well as pther factors.

Ok dave sounds good....I can come off the wall with the front of the speaker about 2-2.5 ft. max so if the depth of the fh Joan front to back is 18” for example then I’ll be off the wall with the back about 6-12” max...what would be your thoughts...would the give sufficient space?
Sorry I’ve been out of pocket for a couple of days( taking care of family)....I’m gonna go with the “JOAN” and use the chn110 to drive the speakers....Dave how do I get the plans and donate for them.
Thanks for giving me the help in the right direction....Mike

Congratulations, great choice imo, never heard the chn110 but many good comments everywhere...post pictures of your build, and of course if any questions don't hesitate...
Thanks Dave
I’m gonna do that one and also I’m gonna become a monthly member to because y’all have been helpful in getting me started and I’ve seen the support here by others in other threads and know they enjoy helping other so thanks again!
Thanks Yves and I will post pics of progress and I’m sure I’ll have questions along the way.
Thanks Leif, I believe it’ll be a great first build and a good entry into DIY audio!!
Your "JOAN" version of the Frugel-Horn will sound very nice, uncannily so...that is the magic of full-rangers. I built my five-inch full-range pair using versions of enclosures many others had previously been researching & experimenting with, endlessly. You see, an individual can research & try virtually endless variations, with hit or miss results...many have come before all of us so that we can build the best...so, here we are...a "small" full-ranger in an ultimately optimized cabinet design. BTW, my five-incher full-ranger...rated at 20 Watts, I drive with a 100 Watt Carver amp...I'm careful, you should too...

Thanks Richard for the boost and reassurance about the build.
Topping and SMSL measure the best arround on sites like ASR in the relative budget section. A Topping E30 dac and a Topping PA5 amp would be a great neutral conbo if you're after that for les than 500$.
Thanks waxx, I’ve seen the names in other sites so I’ll check into those and see what they have/ offer.
