I have two C-subs at the moment loaded with Kilomax drivers and they sound ok. 

I am currently building four HD15s for kick section and a couple of MT121s for mid section.

You mention a single horn design, would one a side go down to 40? If so, do you have a rough sketch?

Cheers

Dougie

Dude, i hope you realize that this post is more than 2 years old.

I dont think that the original poster is still around anymore.

Would I be right in thinking that these boxes would play a little like scoops, only the radiation from the rear of the drivers would give more of a cardioid response pattern?

So Danley didn't have a clue when he designed the Lab12 driver with it's pitiful BL of only 15?

What one looks for is motor strength which is BL/sqrt(Re) which puts the LAB in a different perspective because its a 4 ohm driver

What's great for a 12 may not be enough with an 18 which is why, the QTS of the Kilomax 18 is 0.56
 
Can someone clearify this circumstance?!
 
Calculated BL/sqrt(Re):
- 18S 21NLW9600: 17.76
- Void V18-1000: 14.87
- Kilomax 15A: 7.94
- LAB12: 7.24
- Ciare 12.00SW: 9.74
 
...these are very different values for each.
 
How can you make sure that a driver is suitable for FLH applications independend of it's driver size?

the kilomax shares a few watered down simularities to the mccauley 6174 on paper.  certainly not a 'horn driver' as far as most are concerned, but i have heared that the use of the 6174 in a bassmaxx cab is very good indeed - the bassmaxx looks very similar to this dual kilomax design.
REFLEX ALL THE WAY.... (however, im playing with horns again...) That ok Mister Valiant? :)

The kilomax work fine in a short band pass horn, as the heat sink is on the front of the driver so cooling is ok, just. But I wouldn't suggest them in a folded horn!

Can't someone enlighten what's all about the mystirious BxL in FLH metioned in my last reply?!

Is it permissible to set the BL/sqrt(Re) in relation to Sd or Mms to get an comparable value for various driver sizes?
