Little more progress on the horn path to improve the LPF & linearity of the response.

Front chamber is now down to 16L and the s2 and s3 have increased a fair bit.

Here's the 2pi in case anyone is interested, I wish it looked this good in 4pi! 

(not too bad for just over 125L, I don't think)

No big progress yet, I've been working a lot recently and havn't had much energy. 

I'm increasing the throat size to reduce the compression ratio, I'm also moving away from the porting. My thoughts being if I can't get the results I want with a sealed chamber there is nothing stoping me adding them at a later date. 

Removing the ports has a few noticable implications it increases output above 130hz and causes it to drop drastically below 120hz. To increase output in the lower region I have to reduce the chamber volume to 40L. 

Interestingly if I model the horn as a single section (without ports) the off axis response is relativley smooth and very sensitive.

Thanks! 

I did try it in the ported  version. Here's the Beyma (grey) vs the 15ndl76 (black)

So before the big update on the project here's a screen grab from solidworks; you can see a couple of fouling issues but this is pretty much the final layout for prototyping.

So here's the big update! 

I've CNC routed both side panels for one cabinet, but it didn't come out all that great. The software native to the router is bit of a pig and doesn't like working with STL files. For good results I wanted to use combination milling but the tool paths were ridiculous (it would have taken over 3 hours per side) so I ended up using Z-axis milling. This worked but meant the pieces needed a bit of fettling so I cracked out my hand planes as It’s much quicker for me than the router table.   

On a side note the cutter was also really blunt which left some less than desirable results.
