Our SFN friend Michael Smithers provides this plan.
The Smithers Wedge is a low profile high quality 12" coaxial floor monitor design. Michael's design is based around the BMS 12CN680 which is a robust coaxial driver with good output and extended HF range. He also used a passive crossover design by Curtis List. Other drivers could be employed in this cabinet, with consideration for port tuning adjustments and with a different passive crossover (if passive functionality is desired).
Plans include CAD drawings and build photos, measurements of frequency response and impedance, etc. This cabinet is a relatively straightforward build for those who wish to make some sawdust, and will result in an excellent monitor that would be suitable for many monitoring applications.
Enjoy!
