Not sure what you mean by 'clad on panels'?
It's possible to use self adhesive, high density panels (used for car noise deadening), which I thought might be an easier solution rather than wool or loose materials. You will need a large full-range driver or one with tweeters across the axis, but these are very hard to obaian now. When this cabinet was designed, 12" full range units, some using a whizzer cone, were far more readily available. I liked them for what they were, as they eliminated insertion loss caused by cross-overs.
