Ooh now now now, you are so close to another design with that layout that it seems a shame not to mention the idea of porting the rear chamber into the throat of that horn. 

JaKe on this forum has done this with a 15" and I believe managed to get quite a bit more output in the lower registers, I wonder if you can extend the cutoff of this horn by doing that.

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

The rear chamber is closed. Look at the detail panel. Looks like a WSX.

i'm not the designer but i will try to give my own point of view:
it's a kickbin NOT a subass, so no reason to do that because the lowest frequency of this horn is allready low enough(70hz) to cross with most of the subass design.
by porting the rear chamber you will increase the group delay, get a worst phase response ....the only good thing will be the lower diaphragm displacement.
 
now if you want to play with the design and porting the rear chamber, do it and post the result.

There is no point its already been done with the other design, it just seems a shame to have such a big and heavy box which doesn't really do much better than an HD15 on paper. I wonder why unless you need those specific dimensions you would build this box over an HD15?

i did use hornresp parameter found here:
 
 
if you look the sim he has made with the kappa you will see that the differance between my sim and the one you posted come from the driver(kappa vs PD156),
here's the hornresp sim with kappa driver(with the same HR input i used in my simulation with the pd156):
and here's the one in your link:
you still think that's it's nothing like the original ? 
 
and if you look the graph posted on your link(with kappa and NOT PD driver) you will see that exactly the same thing as on my sim, after 150hz it's go down, and after 200hz it's go down very fast...so i will not say "nothing like the ..." Wink
now if you want i can make a sim with the kappa driver vs mkb(as the graph posted by dave look exactly the same as the one you posted in this link) ??

Thats fair enough I just wondered why the sims looked so different - if its down to the PD154 then thats fine.

but i agree mkb is a huge cab, but it can be split in half for more easy mooving/stacking, and what i like it's go very well high for a kickbin.
