II would like to pass a word of warning about the C-15W driver. I do not know this driver but it looks like it has dual voice coil. This might be a hell or blessing. On a paper the idea sound very interesting but unfortunately when I seen it it never...

[quote user="green heron"] I'm happy with my results midrange on up at the moment, but I'd like more slam from the midbass horns. The backchamber may be a bit too large, so I'm planning to experiment with the cabinet volume. Do you have any su...

That's horribly disappointing for now but I think Jessie is right.Firstly, as you essentially said, I wonder if the horns are coupling into the room such that you actually have much bigger devices than you thought... you are actually sitting inside t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]1) The foams from back chamber pushed itself through the window of basket and touched the driver cone. Sonically it is very likely but knowing HOW I did the thing I think (hope) it did not happen. Also, both horns hav...

Thank, Manolis, it did address some concerns. I think I even know what you did with the MF driver. You were able to get 50Hz out of this looks like horn? This is impressive. The boundaries-loaded horns sometimes allow doing away with the horn siz...

Eduardo,
Thanks for your thoughts and illustrations. I also do not feel that loosely-suspended very small metal cone might be a right solution for midbass. To develop LF you need pressure, pressure is surface by exertion – there is nothing els...

Moron it is then...Anyways, seeing the back chamber of my midbass horn, you would say that its way to big, no? And you would recommend me to proceed with a similar tuning process as you describe in this link?http://audio-db.info/AudioDB/BazaPraktiki/...

[quote user="JJ Triode"]Romy,You refer to the D minor concerto as a "piano concerto," but wasn't it originally composed for harpsichord, like all his other keyboard works? (Except organ of course.) Anyway, I have a harpsichord recording of the D...

A few questions. What driver is it? It looks like it is 15 Vitavox, is it 151 or 15/40? What the resonant frequency of the horn and driver with no back chamber? The most important: how the hell all of it sound. I do not be believed that you did not h...

What is the purpose of having the flexibility to re-configure from straight to J horn?This thing will be large and massive enough that physically moving it from one configuration to another will be difficult and require a lot of effort. Conceptually...

What I think I would need is microscopic pneumatic valve that I would be able to stick into my back chamber and that would have a little-bolt that would allow adjusting the diameter of the leaking “port”... Sure, it would be fun to have the valve to ...

Roman, first of all I feel good about your bass horn that's what i have always bin dreaming and if i get the space for it wont even waste a minute :)I think you already know it or using it ...You mentioned using a foam in back chamber so it adds a ...

Ok, the attic is all prepared and ready is host the horns. I installed the final 14/50 drivers and put in the first layer of foam. I do not like the result. With the large death of the foam that need it will take for me weeks to pile a layer by layer...

The back chamber are installed, the horns are fully assemble and ready to be hoisted tomorrow. I will go to bad today playing…. Here are a few shots for history as if it fly tomorrow into attic then it never will be seen. On the last image you might ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]. What was your resonant frequency after loading? The 416 are 25Hz drivers, after loading and with two drivers it might be deep in teens. From the picture it looks like you keep the back chamber of extra large space, or eve...

This connection is the only connection that my horn will have. From one side it will be back chamber with hard-attached first section. The first section is very critical as it has a transition from 7” round throe to trapezoid of the rest of the horn....

This weekend if I have time I will be doing the testing of my driver deciding which one I will be using. The framework of testing will be the following: a single driver, closed at 150Hz first order, mounted in infinite baffle and working along with M...

Yes, to have an overlap between drywall and horns with drywall layer extended from horn for a few mm is my leading idea. Still I do not have a final solution yet and am conspiring options. How does it sound? I have no idea. I understandably have a lo...

[quote user="noviygera"]What is that round yellow thing in the right corner of the picture? A driver of some sort? [/quote]Yes, they are Fane 24” bass driver with 24Hz primary resonance. I am waiting for the final sound check; the final is long time ...

Jessie is correct about the forcefulness of the expansion of many over-the-counter foams, like generic Great Stuff from Home Depot, etc. In fact, many homebuilders were having problems with the foam they put around door and window frames, etc. durin...

I’ve been harassing my horn-maker for quite a while with an idea to go for straight, no-cheating 45-50Hx horn. We discussed it countless times and sometime probably we would go for this, and particularly if I figure out how to resolve the delays prob...

OK, as now, I see no problem to conclude to the project successfully in 1-2 weeks. The horn give much less problem then was expected, as my progress with crossover going on the midbass horns sound more and more disciplinized. Today I will be expl...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Rakesh,Two things I see that may or may not turn out to be an issue:1) The relatively narrow stance of the front wheels; depending on how heavily you load the top of the frame, stability could be a bit on the limit when mo...

In the linked there above “Barn Conversion - James' Project” I have expressed my attitude toward low frequency bass. I certainly not “against” bass horn it but have “concerns”. The “open bottom” concept that I invented for myself is always make me to...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] There should be no danger in running the S3s down to 500Hz; I am currently running a pair of S2s (same diaphragm as S3) down to 450Hz, 1st order, no problem.
The system is in a room that measures around 80m² with a 3m-h...

Here's how I'd make a hard rear cover/rear chamber.I describe the process in detail, as it is a good investment of my time; I expect to have a similar condition and requirement for my own mid-bass horns (intended for use with AK-151s).This approach c...

I think the usage of Romys Injection Channel has misguided you to think it was implemented because of a certian lack of tone or some sterile sound, nothing of the sort, I cannot blame you for not having listened to Romys system, but theo...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...

is very simple. If you refuse to make own experiment and confirm the unloading
the bass from horn make difference then try to look at the subjects purely intellectually:
