I reckon you might be close.

This is the best thread I have ever been involved in IMO, and the main reason was because of what it made me do outside of the forum. It has made me step up my hornresp modeling alot and experiment with loads of different enclosures, and I'm not just looking at the spl & displacement anymore, I'm looking at impedance and group delay as well.

I may be wrong but to my mind, if you vent a port into a horn, surely it has a similar effect to when you horn load a driver, ie. the horn acts as an impedance transformer for the air and thus improves efficiency.

Good thread, BTW - interesting reading :)

Jake....I really would recommend you get a copy of akabak and mes arounf with it.....

coincidentally, I was trying to see if it was possible to get a stasys X like response from a 5 chambered ported horn........ It is very achieveable to hit 40Hz at about 103-105dB efficiency from a dual driver setup in a cabinet about the same size as a lab horn, IN SIMULATION.
 
When you start getting custom made drivers, and the engineering EXCELLENcE that Rog taled about with his Resonance Mapping, months of CAD to fit more enclosure into less volume, a great knowledge of materials, etc that the final 10Hz extension of the stasys X becomes achieveable, I think.
 
I think with custom drivers,

wow, im gonna try and get my teeth stuck into akabak then, it sounds really good. Then i can try and get my head round some more complex ideas....

Port from rear chamber into throat, bill fitz did that with the 'snail' I think.

Remember that a port is highly resonant,and a horn is less so - you could compare the Q values I guess.Id like to see more info on here. If you search audioasylum.com with 'bill fitzmaurice, tomservo etc youl see all sorts

I've been thinking....  A chamber is a spring and a port is a mass, to get the effects of a long port from a chamber i'd have thought you need to make the air inside the chamber act as a mass that moves backwards and forwards, rather than compresses. The only way i can think of doing this would be to make the chamber a clever shape, so that the trick is more in the shape than of the volume and tuning.....? Just thinking out loud....

I think the secret could be in the designing and testing rather than modeling, hence the thousands of accelerometers!
 
The chamber in (Fig. A) will obviously act as spring of air, and will be compressed, this would NOT act as a longer port.
 
The chamber in (Fig. B) could possibly act as a longer port as there would be more mass inside the port yet the air in the chamber wont compress too much, the air would circulate in the chamber but could still act like a port. Just like blowing across the top of a bottle Wink

Jake
you didnt include wavelength of sound and object involved. At bass frequencies youl find they do the same thing. Olson does a similar thing in his book, which shows mechanical or hydraulic analogies,electrical,and acoustic equivalent circuits.

If you can get akaback to do what you need,it should give you some form of result that is better than nothing.

Sorry, i dont get you? When i drew those pics I was just picturing a blast of air and whether or not it would compress.

My uni Library doesn't have Olson in it....But as soon as I get back I'm geting out 'Acoustics  - Beranek' I believe it was a lot of acoustical/mechanical/electrical equivalents in it, a lot of discussion recently has made me really understand them more!
