Don't wanna hijack amish's thread but a lot of "small" soffits I saw are quite small in their speaker portion. I think that the front wall act as a whole, it's not just the speaker beazel that creates the effect. I also suspect that if we're talking about a real soffit with the speaker fully enclosed in a rigid front wall, the speaker is forced to radiate in the front only no matter what the beazel dimensions are (to a certain degree). Just my understading. On paper. I'm still a student just like most of us here. Tryin' to pick up as I go.
