i am also building a back and front loaded slim sized hornspeaker with a single source, using a 8" coax driver :


You can make life a lot easier by eliminating the rounded bends. While rounded bends are critical to extend the passband much above 600 Hz in a folded horn, below 400 Hz they're of no benefit, so with a rear loader they complicate the build for no good reason. For that matter even reflectors are unnecessary if the pathway from bend to bend is less than 1/4 wavelength.
