Hey Tim,The new year's a great time for new projects and to "de-lurk" :) I've been kind of a stranger here myself recently.
Good idea to start with the SMGs. You say you want the panels to be a bit narrower- 18" or so- what are they to start with? I can see your reason for wanting them this way- floor space, slimmer appearance.
I would guess that an inch and a half or less on each side of the panel won't hurt MUCH, but I wouldn't go too far- this is removing effective baffle area. You might lose a bit more in the bass area with waves interacting between the back and fronts of the panels, canceling each other out. I know there is less MDF on the sides of MMGs- but they were also designed differently and your SMGs are a bit more efficient (90 db), this could be a reason why.Happy New Year, Cory
