I am building an h-frame woofer with x-baffle. I assume that Baffle width calculation would need to reflect the width of the baffle + the length of the wings... Can someone back me up?

Thanks for the quick reply. I have read over most amterial at Both John K and Linkwitz's sites. The quareterwave site is new to me. I am considering a simple and cheap test build with the following drivers:
neo3pdrw http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...TOKEN=95881282
alesis 5.25 http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=299-160
2x no-name 12" woofers (qts = 1.2) http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=292-320
I already have the Alesis and the rest of the parts satisfy the tight budget (for now).
P.S> I am also unsure about what the baffle height really means. I assume that a typical h-fram has a top and bottom "lid"... Such that when you are looking down you cannot actually see the h-frame but the top of the enclosure.--My Speaker building pages http://sites.google.com/site/brianpowers27speakers/

Yes the "H" has a top and bottom, frequently but not always the same depth as the sides
Typically we see the front baffle width and height large enough to accommodate the drivers. The depth is then adjusted to provide the desired boundary loading.
This doesn't exclude having the front baffle wider or taller, but then one gets into situation were stiffening bracing comes into play.
We did one version of the 'Arvo' design (it's a 'U' baffle) where the top was shorter and the sides tapered....
