Hi, Can you post your HR horn inputs. I am still trying to get more low bass out of this design. Thanx.

You can get down to 30hz but the efficiency starts to drop dramatically. Max output is compromised as well.


18HP1060 standard vs 10cm higher tuned to 30hz (standard is black)

My only concern would be that it may also lessen the maximum output by running out of xmax early.

I was considering extending the front approximately 4 inches. It wouldn't give much in the way of added internal volume but it would extend and increase the size of the horn some.

Add 10 cm (4 inch) to H. Moving the door and port up. This would add more than a cubic foot of air space. Adjust port L and try 40/35/30 Hz fb . Would this increase low bass output?

Will increasing rear chamber size increase 30-45 Hz out put? How much?

I have some Faital Pro 18HP1060's that model the same as the RCF LF18N401's that it was designed around. They actually has a slightly higher output due to higher xmax. The size and weight of this cab seem manageable, it can be used in singles and its efficiency and output seem to be as high as most other cabs in this size range. It seems to be the perfect cabinet except that I would like it to go a little lower. The current tuning appears to be around 40hz. I have modeled it in hornresp as it is and with the port tuned to 35hz. Tuned to 35hz the efficiency at 40hz drops a few db and it runs out of xmax a little sooner but otherwise still seems to be a very competent cabinet. Other than the 2 noted compromises are there any other issues with the lower cabinet tuning that I am missing?


18HP1060 VS LF18N401
