Im trying to design my own *hybrid b-line mini scoop
 * box to load with a V18-1200, just needed some advice and opinions on;a) what depth/length piece of wood A should be?
b) what angle/length piece of wood B should be?
 If its any good will be building a pair of them, can i also mention that im not using any programing software so please keep your comments not to technical

What do you want from it? high bass? low bass?
or a bit of both?
Looking at the drawing the length of he horn is to much for the mouth size
you could get away with a 1.5 mtr horn length i reckon, what length is that 1.8/9? ------------- ......just all them hanging there like giant bananas. |

Im after some REALLY low bass!
Would this design do it? Am i on the right track?
The height of the mouth would be 14", do u think this will be to tight?? ------------- PRECISION SOUND SYSTEM. Feeding the peoples needs for Roots Music. Strictly premium grade reggae and dub steppers from the early 70's to present day. |

doesnt have to be that size just thought it would be convenient carrying/storage n what not!
How much difference will it make if the mouth size is bigger/smaller?
Im guessing a tighter throat would be better for punchy bass and a larger throat be better for deep???  ------------- PRECISION SOUND SYSTEM. Feeding the peoples needs for Roots Music. Strictly premium grade reggae and dub steppers from the early 70's to present day. |

You'll need a bigger box. ------------- Until the Lions have their own historians, tales of hunting will always glorify the hunter. |

"Im guessing a tighter throat would be better for punchy bass and a larger throat be better for deep??? " Erm, well that box looks like a BigVentReflex to me rather than a horn really. So the opposite rule of thumb will apply, the larger the cross section of the port for a given length the higher the tuning will go. So small port = deep tuning, large port = high tuning. If you want it really chunky it has to be loads longer to compensate. Alf |

yes hes right look at the expansion rate of that horn.... more like a port than a horn.... actualy as an aside where the bottom bend is youve actualy got negative expansion, will this area not also act as an extra rear chamber? so a sort of direct radiating bandpass..... ------------- insert silly sentence here |
