You just need to manipulate Vtc and Vrc until you get the smoothest resonse.

If you examine the perspective view of this design, you will see a large cavity in front of the woofer before it opens into the throat. This gives a much more uniform load across the cone, and the cavity gets rid of the dip a half-octave above the Fc of the horn.

djk, where do you find all the Bill Woods designs?

I've erased some of my collection by accident. Is there a repository somewhere as opposed to having to search audioasylum under RCA-fan?

That the Tempest design, BTW?

Thanks.

All of Bill's links are dead because he hosted them at AA, and it's a paid service.

I only have a few saved to my hard drive, this one, a 70hz Hypex, and the rear-load horn with the Karlson slot. He has re-posted the later at his AH! site.
 
The Tempest woofer is a 15" similar to a Lab 12 driver.
 
Here is a graph comparing one of the above design, two of the above, and a double 18 reflex box.
 
 
Note the solid response to 40hz, and no dip.

Thanks. I'll look around at TDA's site now as well - remember him having some of them as well.

What woofer would best suit the Bill woods Tempest horn (the last plan shown)? The same rcf as the superbasshorn?

Maybe try finding a driver with similar parameters to the Tempest - details available at the Adire library.

Same size would be a good start. Wink
