[QUOTE="Kevin McDonough, post: 212771, member: 10402"] hey guys Thank you all for your replies and help. I was aware of Josh's great designs, as I mentioned it was his Othorn that started me on this design journey, and I was also a big fan of the SKHorn. I wasn't totally aware that a single driver version had been created though, and will go and read that info with great interest. Well I'm glad this is the most accurate way of doing it lol, as it's much kinder to the design and output graphs than the lossy LE function!! ? As shown above the Lossy LE took a big scoop out of the design's response at 60-70Hz. Implementing the complex semi inductance still makes a few changes from the original plot, but much less drastically. In both cases,having played about with the design a little and tried a few of the things people suggested above (bigger chamber, longer horn etc) what really started to help, especially in the Lossy LE, was allowing the horn path to expand a little quicker over s1-s3. This seemed to fill back out the missing scooped out section somewhat. I'd already modified the design a bit this way for the Lossy LE, and this same fix of a quicker initial expansion seems to smooth out the less drastic changes caused by complex semi inductance being turned on as well. So with a little adjusting, the design seems to be back to being a very flat design from mid 30Hz all the way up past 100hz.... [ATTACH type="full" alt="208930"]208930[/ATTACH] It'll be pretty similar to the 3D modeled design above, just more of an angle for the baffle section so it expands a little quicker, and as a result a little less chamber volume, but not by too much. Have some time off coming up soon from my day job, so will work on a final test design and hopefully manage to pick up some sheets of MDF for a first run, see how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
