Just needs to be trapezoid as well to eliminate any parallel walls and you'll have a practically unbuildable cab!

I can see what you're trying to do but since scoops have issues going up in frequency, making it all nice and smooth is probably unnecessary.  Nice idea tho.

hey mykey,

thats what i thought of, too. the round corners only can make the sound better, but i dont know if the triangle section is needed. bracing is important too. im not an expert, but the difficult way of rogs design isnt for fun i think. so i will read this topic carefully

last i heard a smooth curve would give more of smooth roll off on the bass end making it a nice pleasent sound. while straighter angel gives a hard kick. but thats dealing with the horn mouth. the curve is great when trying to get precise sounds, but i personaly go for the straight, gota love the kick.

who has? can i see any pic's?

thanks for your comment's guy's most appreciated

the cab is pretty easy to build actualy.. all the curves are mostly one piece and are made on pneumatic jig's and i use a 30 second 2 part glue

@mykey whats your goal, done any tests yet? is this a new xxl offering?

there is still a big market for the scoop bin's in the Reggae seen, and there are so many different versions on the market just trying to improve on the ones that are already out there.

Testing them next week up against my old design, ill let you know guy's

Thank's again

Well....if you made it trapezoid it`d be petty close to these...

CMC Matrix scoops

Which were designed and built by NCA. They use the " no hard corners " philosophy on all their bins and the scoops were no exception. All smooth curves and constant flare rates ...blah blah...loaded pd1850`s ..etc etc
Anyway CMC sold `em on ....seen some of them about at carnival last year.

Looks like the driver is right up to the rear chamber divide..? So a smaller rear chamb` and longer horn length..? Should be " smoother " than most scoops anyway!
