Suitable baffle designs for Philips AD12100 M8 Full Range Drivers

[reubensm]

Hi all, recently sold these vintage beauties to a very knowledgeable FM who is a true lover of anything musical. He also has a passion for wood-working which is very hard to find these days. He requested me for some suitable baffle designs for these speaker drivers so I thought it would be fair for us to put these on a thread for general viewing. I have also requeste FM Shafic to help out as he has sold similar speakers and would probably have some knowledge of what baffle designs his other buyers are using.

To start with, this was the baffle designs I was initially looking at:

I believe design of FM Jaudere's could be followed too if someone is using only one driver per baffle for his/her open baffle design. He is quite happy with his design.
