Why aren't you just shifting the 8" horn to the side and using the extra space for the 1"? Looks like enough space to fit a small horn like a DE10 or some bullets.
Don't test the champignon sound

Looks good,  a small HF horn in the mouth of the 12" section wont affect the 12" much at all, its better to array vertically also so you avoid combing in the horizontal plane around the crossover between the 8" and the 1".

Very cool boxes. Clap (symetry whore here as well)  The midrange horn is particularly interesting.  Have you done a bit of testing on it?  I was attempting something similar and roasted hotdogs over the failed prototypes last week.  In any case, I will be watching this thread with interest.  I have a few 12's begging for new boxes.

im afraid i havent been able to do any testing due to lack of funds, its case of hit and hope with this one, im a firm believer that any problems can be ironed out with a bit of eq/crossover twiddling, im only doing this as a hobby to build a little party stack and dont actually intend to make any monies from the rig, just need to order these drivers now and see how it sounds

i really like it. it's a road i'd like to go down with my mt-121s. have considered building the xtro horn in to the top space, but yours has a lot more going on with it. did you do much working out for the 8" horn or are you just jamming with it?

  I like it, its nice to see someone going back to basics a bit and just trying things out for the hell of it rather than looking at countless computer simulations and pages and pages of physics. Anyway, if it sounds as good as it looks it'll be immense.Thumbs Up
