	Looks close; the cad is missing the mouth brace. The 1st flare will be a complex cut. VECTORSONICS USA

	Do you have any other drivers in mind which could be used in this type of horn?

	Yeah theres quite a few 12" drivers suitable for bass horn loading, i have Ciare 12.00sw, Fane 12XB, 18 Sound 12LW1400, Faital 12RS1066, B&C TBX100, and some others... one of those should work well in this horn.

	Okay cool. I will try to make a Hornresp Simulation for the boxes. Today we tested them outdoor, really cool output for an 12". But the bins sounded a little bit "uncontrolled" / not really punchy. Perhaps someone put some Eminence LAB 12 inside to get with 1 or 2 boxes a little bit deeper but i think i need some other drivers.

	The lab12 is very much a sub driver, so upper bass is compromised, if you want more of a bass driver look for higher fs, lower mms and shorter xmax.
