   hello,i am designing a multiple entry horn and would like to use a high compression ratio for my 10" eminence kappa pro 10A s( https://www.eminence.com/pdf/Kappa_Pro_10A.pdf - https://www.eminence.com/pdf/Kappa_Pro_10A.pdf) . they run from 170-1200Hz with a 9l closed backchamber. how much compression ratio can they handle? is 4:1 too much? i can calculate the hornresp but am worried about the cones... does anyone have an idea how i could guesstimate a rough max compression ratio?
cheers, lisette
