Hello,
I have been using a vott system for a long time and i recently did meet someone with a similar system who wanted to add the so called wings to them.Some questions did arise. What are the dimensions of these panels? Can they be a little less wide if the cabinet itself has much thicker panels like mine in the attachment? Do they have to be attached very rigidly? Can they be placed on the ground with no contact at all to the bass binn itself? So i could decide to not attach them at all and just construct them with a heavy weight at floor level and a sand filled construction like an 8 and a 12 mm wooden panel with an inch of sand in between them. Maybe a wider panel at one side and a less wider at the other side of the binn to deal with positioning them in the room. Thanks in advance for any clever idea shared here. Eduard.. P.s i did read that the minus 3 db point will drop from 60 to 49 hertz

I love your finish on your VOTT's, are they veneered or refinished ?
Either way they look awesome.
Please post more ( Closer View) pics!
Thanks and Have fun!

Hello,
After looking at it for a long time i still think they look nice too. The bass cabinets have been made by myself with some help for the curved woodwork. The cabinets have been covered by glueing a layer of cork ( 4 mm thickness) that is used for covering floors. It has the same pattern as the one on my floor. Cork used to cover walls is usually thinner and a little bit more fflexible but even at the end of the horn towards the exterior side it is still one panel of cork. Off course 90 degrees angles cannot be made. After glueing same lacquer that was used for the floor was applied. I just have this picture.
To the writer of the second answer thanks a lot . I will pass the information to the other owner of the vott and let him do some efforts. Thanksalot, EDuard
never would have thought of using cork flooring as a laminate for my cabs,, thank you for the idea,,
plus they look really , really good,,

10" wide for a 50" total width, but the wider the better. If they are massive enough as you suggest, then they can be free standing with just some gasketing on the appropriate edge to protect your cab's fine finish. Yes, they can be different widths and helps with reducing the amplitude of any standing waves across the speaker system, just like offsetting a driver on a baffle.
The basic cab's area in half space loads to ~76 Hz, with the wings, ~59 Hz, with the 16" high top baffle of the original A800, ~47 Hz. Up against a wall it will be ~3 dB lower on average, but it won't be near as smooth due to the wings-wall cavity resonances. FWIW, adding at least a 20" high top baffle with a horn mouth adapter even if it's just a flat plate bolted to the horn with foam bridging the gap to the baffle cutout is well worth the effort IMO and it can be additionally supported by tying the 'floating' wings together.
