Check this out, 4 12" woofers in an old school(1988) w-bin. Actually has pretty good specs for the time!

Hope you can read german ;)

roborg - did they sound good up to 350hz? wondering whether it's worth building some cabs a bit like this but split in half vertically.

Im not sure if anyone on here remembers,(Colint might,maybe Robbo and CSG too).Simms-Watts did a 4x12 Wbin,made in england,with four 12"  80watt chrome-dome fane drivers,around the late 70's,of course the cabinet was finished in the fashionable black leatherette cloth that was the standard at the time.
Be seeing you.

the visaton cab looks a bit like 4 punishers stuck together. I imagine it would work very well and with the right drivers would probably be a lot better than anyone got it sounding when it was concieved. Although if I was going to build it I would dispense with the letterbox and alter the throat slightly.
me so horny, me love you long throw.

Yeah agreed - seems like a slightly shorter horn path and a larger front chamber than the punisher - that's a guess purely by eye though so I may well be wrong. Although it seems to be a good throat arrangement in terms of reflectors being at correct angles, acoustically 'small' gaps with regards to the frequencies going through them, drivers facing each other to reduce distortion and panel loss/resonances etc. That's why I'm quite curious about high cutoff - if you could sort the letterbox out slightly maybe it'd sound better than a punisher but with slightly lower sensitivity? I should do more modelling less speculating but I know downloading hornresp on my work computer will mean no work gets done :P
