Remember to adjust the sealed chamber by adding or removing material(add a chunk of wood in there or take some out). Moving the baffle will mess with the sound in a bad way...

DITTO.
moving the baffle back would be the worst mistake you could make.

I'm looking at your drawing and noticed, on some of the walls you put the board on one side of the line, and in other spots you did the opposite. It looks like the second segment of your horn is HUGE incomparison to the first (throat) segment.

Does anyone else understand what I'm trying to say? Look closely at his board placement in relation to his lines, in the 2nd picture.

The boards for the horn flares directly across from the triangle sides should be on the inside of the triangle. The 24 x 36 version's first bend looks weird compared to the 36 x 36 version.
