Wardy, thats some mad sketching skills!
Yeah, im using the free one. I've only spent about an hour on it so far, but i really want to do the internals of my cab correctly to make a proper diagram of it to post on here. So i'll be spending some more time on it in the future...

My main concern would be port tuning/termination. Remember that your talking 3.4m - 8m wavelengths in particular.

Cool, take some pics at some point please!
 
It seems you beat me to prototyping! i remember you saying you had a ported horn and were interested in the outcome of my design, im too lazy (and poor!)LOL

Sorry (again!) i dont get what you're saying...?
 
Do you just mean that the tuning could be way off that which i have predicted?
I think im going to need to do some fine ( / rough) tuning once its built anyways....

Hey, i have nearly finished the prototype! i started cutting yesterday. I should have it together by tomorrow (maybe).
 
I have completly re-designed the port so that its alot easier to build, and it should be eaisier to tune to the right freq.
 
I'll post details at some point....
 
I now have 4 working drivers, 1 iffy one, 4 trashed ones (i didnt do it) and 1 recone sitting around.
 
I need six finished cabs in under 1 month... Shocked 
 
EDIT: actually its exactly one month.

Prototype:
 
 
I gave it a quick raz tonight and it seemed pretty good (only 200w into it) im gonna work out the tuning tommorrow and get a mate round with a better amp so i can really try it out.
 
The port might be too small but the only way to find out is to test it.

aha the impedance peaks and dips might be to do with the small mouth area ie just one cab, maybey it will smooth out in a stack of four or howether many you designed it to be used in. no idea if this is even possible just a thought.

Markk.

ps did the recone kit and driver go ok?????

insert silly sentence here

Havent done the recone yet, im scared of it! im building 4 cabs for an event im doing and i have 4 working drivers, so i'll hold off the recon until i start building my another four after the event. I'll be after 4 more recones then aswell so i'll get in contact at some point. cheers
