So here is my very first attempt at horn design... The plan is for this to be a 1600x1220x700 exponential dual 15'' loaded monster. I'm aware it's huge and, to be honest, that's the point, we want something bigger and better than your average super bass horn. I'm aware I'm jumping in at the deep end but I thought it'd be worth getting a few pointers on the plan so far, as in, how does the actual path look to the more experienced designers out there? I'm prepared for the design to be shot down as it is my first but any and all criticism/guidance is welcome.

Looks like a slightly out of square labhorn

the lab horn is as big as two people can safely handle. you'll struggle to even tip that onto its wheels.

really like the draftsmanship. I say build the dam thing and look see. Figguring out how to build it is as important as design. Good luck! What drivers? lab 15? They might survive.

We were thinking of fitting jacks to each cabinet, similar to ones you'd have on a car (lol)

Thank you man! Just importing it into sketchup so I can horn resp it then saving up the £££ and we'll get building. They will indeed be loaded with the Lab 15

what's the most accurate way to. measure this from the plan? Is it as simple as drawing a central line down the path and measuring or is there a better way?
