I just heard 4 of the Danley Sound Labs TH-115 tonight, and all I can say is, damn. These things kick some serious ass, I'd take them over turbosounds, maybe even a WSX. But i'm wondering if anyone has plans for them. I've never tried building a tapped horn sub before, and not sure really how to build them. Also what driver would be best for this, an RCF driver?

Ok, so are the LAB subs the closest anyone has come to them? I know i'm going to buy a couple of the TH-115's when I get the money, reguardless of what pro sound web says, I heard these things go, and i've never heard a sub perform like them. The was close, but couldnt stay as loud as low as the 115, and the turbosound tsw-718 and go low, but don't seem like they can hit as hard as the 115, and they are the dual 18's. Bar far, these are my favorite subs for touring. So once I get the money, I will check them out.

The closest thing to them thats a DIY is the Apache H15 of Philpope on this forum
Do an advanced search setting the date to any date I think the thread was about Danley Tapped Horns originally Stu |

All you need to know is:
Sensitivity + Power Handling - Power Compression = Max Output My acts: www.myspace.com/thebowiexperience www.myspace.com/scheisseelektronisches |

"Ok, so are the LAB subs the closest anyone has come to them?"
A single lab 12 has virtually no output compared to the TH115 in the 40hz region, is larger and heavier, and a much lower impedance as well.
If you want a good DIY project I would look at using the Eminence 4015LF in a tapped horn design. This driver is half the price (in the USA) of the B&C that Danley uses, and actually simulates better in AkAbak. Both drivers have eight back-plate vents, 4" coils, copper shorting rings in the motor.
If you make the box just a little larger than the TH115 here is what you can get from a pair:
±2dB 31hz~150hz, 108dB/2.83V/1M at 35hz.

Image not to scale. Wireframe can be confusing.... A huge guess, but its a try... I noticed something in the wireframe again earlier. I will update my guess sometime and post the image again. Edited by Hugo Biermann - 12 August 2013 at 11:02am |

the TH115 is good but really relies on a high performance driver capable of large Xmax for its performance.
For a DIY design TH I chose an 18" driver as these are capable of shifting more air! Even Danley has done this by shoehorning a 18" driver into the TH115 cab and calling it the TH118. I have a thread on DIYAudio about the cab I drew up. Its a bit of a long read as it has nearly 1400 posts. Embarrassingly it turned out that what I drew was closer to a Danley TH115 / TH118 than anyone envisaged at the time! Tony Wilkes - Forte Audio, took the design as the basis of his stretched F1-TH18EX cab. The sketch posted by Hugo above is very close to correct. The difference in the design compared to most DIY tapped horns is the the way the fold restricts the throat very close to the center of the speaker driver. Get this wrong and you are going to break your driver - also with a more budget driver I would reduce the amount of compression at this point. Cheers Xoc1 |
