Don´t know if this enclosure was anytime discussed in this forum. I built 4 of them and was really happy with the output and punch they had.
The lower limit of 43Hz is also a nice thing.
Mine are playing with Oberton 15B450 Speaker - the B&C15PL40 should also be a good choice.

So i think this plan should be shared......

If it does play the suggested 50-500 you have one hell of a good box there!

Looks like a mod of the old fane cook-book design. Can you get a few pictures up of YOUR boxes... did you take any building pictures too?

If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.

"big box for a single 15."
 
Those boxes are tiny!
 
They are 1/4 of an RCA Olson bin, a dual 15 box that was intended to be used in pairs (80" x 80").
 
 
One doesn't do much.
A couple per side can make some noise!
This is what the ones I got from an old theater loked like, they have big plywood wings to extend the baffle.
 
I changed the drivers out for modern ones and they thumped real well on a BGW750. The tar-filled multi-cell on top was too heavy to carry, even with the drivers removed!

1/4 of the olson bin? If that's 80"x40" for single then double "California" horns would be just about the same size @ 80"x29".
That looks more like 3/4 of an olson bin to me which makes them about the same size, no doubt they are good sounding but these boxes must be very uncomfortable to carry around.

why not arange those bins so they LOOK like the big RCA jobbie... would prob measure close to 80"x80" anyway... you may even get a few dB out of them by coupling them this way too!!

...you never know, worth a punt though!
