Yes, you could eliminate the bottom plate and then use the lumber to raise the cab up higher, however you then open up some other cans of worms (aka opportunities ala Nelson Pass). You would need to get a decent seal between the horn mouth and the floor, which could take the form of carpet, wood or concrete, or some combination of these, adding a wild card into th application. In addition to this, you would be eliminting some panel dampening. The large rear panel is the most likely to "sing", and leaving off the bottom plate increases this. You may wind up adding the bottom plate later on as a tweak. These are not insurmountable opportunities though. Looking at the cutting guide, there is still some opportunity for wood conservation. The first cut (which splits the 4 X 8 sheet) between panel 7 and 8, could be ended at less than the half way point which could make this area big enough for one of the skirts. More wood is availabe from the area where the 8'" baffle in pictured, enough for the other skirt. This keeps the whole thing in Fred's O.S.W. club. Whether this is important or not is up to the builder.
