Looks like a modfied SMT212, is it?

I'm about to do something similar with my SMT's.
 
Edit: just seen your pic in the other thread, cant be SMT as it pre dates the plans.

Very similar to my Shermann AL3

except im guessing thats an 8'' + 2''. The AL3 are 6.5'' + 2''..... would make more sense having an 8''

I'll get a photo if you want to compare

Snafu, the SMT212 is a DIY cab, kindly designed & posted by Staiper.
 
Here's a pic of one of mine, though soon they will look similar to your cabs above.

What are the advantages of a flared cab if the flares are outside the cone area?
I can understand the advantage of loading the driver when the flare is within the driver diameter.

If I could get an 8" horn here, I would modify my smt212's to look similar.

@ nickyburnell, it should give a bit more directivity to the drivers polars over a direct radiating cab however their is no increaese in efficiency due to hornloading, bit more usefull for arraying but otherwse its just a reflex afaik.
You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.
