Thanks for the report. How would you characterize the *quality* of the bass compared with the Goldwoods? Since you are using 18 inchers in both configuration, do you think you gain anything with the slot loading?

With good solid battens and tight fasteners, it should be as good as a glue joint. If I need to make them wider in the future (say to accommodate an 18 inch driver, which my current cabinet cannot support), I can make longer top and bottom pieces and a new baffle and reassemble the cabinet. I don't want to keep building new cabinets every time I make a change.
There is another way of configuring slot loading, is to mount a driver vertically on an interior baffle behind the main baffle, comprising a chamber or slot between them, with an exit slot in the main baffle at the bottom. I was thinking about it since I do not have the depth in my current (already precut) cabinets to accommodate a 15 inch driver horizontally mounted like you have your 18's. If I make my cabinet a little wider (per above), I could slip in an 18 incher in the same manner.
