A stack of four on the ground would be modelled as a single cab in 1/8th space.

Have a go at a different driver perhaps?

been busying myself with this tonight - bored the missus is out!

anyways i figured that the HD215's that Dom and I built have a close enough approximation to the curve using straight sides to allow an approximation of an exponential horn using conical segments

i dug out the cad drawings i made and with a bit of working out came up with this :-

@ ceharden i made the ATC the same area as the baffle so the axis is normal to the driver. rotated the other way normal to the throat (and therefore a smaller area) caused no end of spurious crap and a complete loss of the bottom end

overall compared to the Rogs plot i think its a passable sim

hope that helps

thought it would be interesting to compare so assuming that sim is right here's some more drivers:-

PD154

 

PD158

 

PD1550

 

P.Audio SD-15

 

P.Audio P-15N

 

P.Audio SN-15B

 

P.Audio C15-500LF

 

this last one is Rogs fave and clearly it works really well yet the one above it seems to have a reasonable response and that's a Neo driver

i'm just wondering what tweaks are nessesary to get them singing properly

@ Dave: You've certainly been busy, good to see some comparisons between drivers.

I've been spending my time (especially last night like you) finalising my own 15" horn design.  Will post designs and plots if I get time before leaving for Plasa today.  At the moment I'm designing for Kappa 15LF as that's what I've got but will need to upgrade at some point.  Seems from my sims that the Kappa gives the best LF extension of all the drivers but the PD's and the like will probably give a harder kick.
