i cant access the host site. so im going to repost the pictures a diffrent way, i can change the pixel size but you wont be able to see the measures very well, but you will be able to see the basic shapes. i based this design on a scoop style design. but it should be about the same. give me a few mintues and ill have it up.

You dont know much about horn design yet you come up with that?!!!! god i wish i had such imagination!

Well the expansion looks quite smooth but i think the horn path might be a bit too long for the mouth size but hey bill fitzmaurices are and they work ok

The box is pretty big though youd probably need only a couple per side if the mouth length was large enough to reach extension. I like the idea though maybe someone who is good with AkAbak will be able to comment more on the response of the box

All you need to know is:
Sensitivity + Power Handling - Power Compression = Max Output

 ya, apparently i have one of those...extremly technical minds, even though i might not know much about somthing, i can basicly invision exactly how something is built and what pieces there are just by taking a glance, its kinda annoying really, everytime i look at something the image pops in my head and inturn i can some how explain how its built in the inside with out having to open it up....
  that design is based off a mixture of things...: the 186horn, the 1850horn, scoop designs. and with thinking mabey if i enlarge the horn pathway, that it might increase the lower pitch frequencies, because if it travels just a tad longer, the frequency deepens just a tad more, hens, the farther a loud noise travels, the lower the pitch gets, and the bombier it sounds.. so i figured "hey, why dont i do that, enlarge the hole box size its self by a tad, and try to get a lower pitch then the common around 50-55hz, and try to deepen it to near 45-50hz.

Don't worry! That's just temporary. You'll get over it.

Nice job on the drawings!  Have you tried running the numbers in "hornresp"?  I'm concerned that you'll get a drop in the 50-70 range due to length vs. mouth size, but with out checking it,,,,

Foldings do look smooth!  Tough construction, but if the numbers check out, it should be worth a build!
