Never quite sure why people want to change the design to make the 2 mids together with the top on top...Surely the advantage of the original design is that you avoid most of the combing problems by seperating the mids and the cab works as a line source having the drivers in the original configuration...

Single 12" cabs have the advantage you can array them in a side-by-side configuration to acheive more dispersion, but you won't need one compression driver for each 12" mid!!
Even the 2-1 ratio in the original design is a bit top-heavy using CP800Ti for the tops.

Actually, when I made mine, I cut the horn flares to match/fit the *actual* fitting...starting with the top/bottom screwed to one outer side panel and with the lines for the side parts of the flares drawn on the top and bottom of those flares...

The original cut I made (from the plans) didn't fit and I came up with that way as the easier (and quicker) method rather than trying to work it all out in Autocad, or similar, and STILL getting it wrong in practice..

Once I'd done the first one, I just copied another 3 times and it all went together pretty well!

dont know about quicker.... it only took me 40mins to draw it in cad, probably would have taken me just as long to mark it all out and then realise i messed it up...  2d cad can only get u so far though, i think with 3d cad u can create a model that u can prove to urself is correct.

the plans arent incorrect, its just to get the flares at 12 degrees and 24 degrees there slightly off from where they should meeet.  i like the mt121 design as its just a handy dinky thing rather then the full on mt122.

i wouldnt mind changing the high freq horn...any suggestions?

i agree that the stacked 12 mids are silly but they look funky u have to admit! 

i was thinking about maybe doing something like the turbo sound cabs and join a mt121 with a hd15 and see how that looked....  mite build a pair just for fun!

MT122s are not dinky.  They are  backbreaking...

I am really interested in getting some of those angle clamps...  Do they have a name, manufacturer etc???
