The first sim in that post must be the old version, the next two the new version of the sim. VERY CONFUSING with a semi-updated post containing old & new sims!

I've seen several versions of this sim:
-some takes the air in front of the cab into account & "sees" ground.
-some uses "tra"=tractrix.

which is best?

Last thing I don't get is where the horn starts? Is it in front of the driver or after the last opening?

You're right I should build a proto, first I have to decide which!
I build quite some boxes though, other boxes:-)
yes that's the 'ghost' part of the horn. I included that

not sure the relevance of that but yes it happened, my bins are slightly different to the plan also. But I think it was down to super heavily clipped signals, rather than a error in set-up. I'm fairly happy with them except I'm beginning to think that you can get a similar response from a smaller overall cab with the right drivers and design.

Well I used a different driver, extended the rear chamber a bit there is lots of wasted space there, and made the cabs wider overall as the width seemed a bit random for stacking with other stuff. Other people also made the cabs wider for the same reason. Oh and its a DIY cab so I did it my way. ;-)

Sorry for reviving an old thread as the years have gone on how many more people have/are running these? Any more observations to report? Comparisons to other cabs? Reason i ask is that i may be buying some. Cheers
