I built a pair in 2014, using MCM full range drivers. The article spoke to me years ago and I could never get the idea out of my head. Building them was extremely fun, I even used an extremely dangerous hole cutter just like the original article. They are almost insanely loud between about 250Hz and 3kHz. They sound quite awful, but would probably be great for making announcements in a huge building.
Not wanting to give up, I got a minidsp, and programmed it to give them some bass. This improved things substantially, but they required so much bass boost that it killed the efficiency and the power handling.
These are a 10/10 as a DIY project, and a 2/10 as a speaker system. Every once in a while I pull them out to try and then put them away.
