Jose,
You made a V formation as viewed from the listener's position (or if you were a wave front), but the base is a T formation made from PVC T fittings. That diagram you sent was very clear.
Effectively you've made a set of noodles with another quick construction method, but the V formation and using 2 of these beside your center RL makes it similar to David Aiken's Quadratic Lens formation. I'll bet it works similar to his design acoustically.
Lots of guys, particularly Maggie owners, found noodles to be effective. From the diffraction/diffusion standpoint they should be nearly as effective as other room lens clone designs. True lenses and the close designs also use resonance and absorption internally to the pipes, but these are probably lesser effects (per what Jon Risch told me last year).
Good job!
