Moray ,Claude; Check out the Faital Pro 15PR 400. It appears to have great specs all around and the impedance curve looks excellent thru 70 hz up to 1khz. I found them by accident while looking for some 8" woofers for the Snails III.Let me know if they are what they appear to be as I'm trying to find EVM 15L's, but so far only 8ohm versions, and really need to get moving on all the horns I've got to build. We are converting the gun range that's in this multiplex, into a work shop( sound proofed) so I can build and test at the same time. Thanks 2S2P

For all you guys interested in modding your Heresies talk to Moray; His brother and Moray put on a demonstration for me that floored me, truly staggering, Way to go Moray, love that golf ball mod:):). Will see you soon.2S2P

Hey Guys: Right in the middle of sound tests for the lounge and not knowing the Lascala bin for a reference, the SP-1's are singing with the Behr 2496 at the helm. Crossing down to the sub with LR 12 @ 80 hz closing out with LR 24 @ 31 hz. Moving up to 499 hz with the LR 48, for the FH-1 pulling down 141hz -1.4 db and finally closing out at 19.6 hz with BW 48 while pulling up 15.1 khz @ +2.1 db for the CP-1. This was a possible thru the generosity of Moray James to sell the cabs to me and let me grow as a audiophile. Thanks again Moray your the best. By the way Ottmar Liebert never sounded so good to me in my entire life.2S2P

Claude: I got my Behr 2496 a few weeks ago and I'm just learning to have a blast with it. I'm crossing at 4th order at 499hz for the CP-1, and at 80hz 4th order to the sub. any recommends there, as I'm strugglling with both time and the renovations going on there. Limited time to play right now and I need to hammer down the sound soon, plus grab a Jan Didden master volume control for the output gains.Thanks 2S2P

If you only need to get to 100 Hz. then just build Volvotreter's conical bass horn for the EVM-15L (or B )woofer, which you can find on Craiglist all the time since musicians routinely fry them. You can get them reconed and they will be like new for about $100 each. Bruce Edgar, doing D.B. Keele math highly recommends these woofers as the best for bass horns above 60 Hz. because they will go up past 600 easily on the right bass horn design. All the R&D has been done already and the plans even have a 1:1 template and panel layout if you can get to a printer/plotter with large roll feed......try a blueprint shop. Plus it's all metric, which, I'm sure a fellow Canuck can easily understand. My version is just about 1/4 meter longer, with a rectangular throat of the same area and a rectangular, larger mouth, so it goes a little lower. But his has the perfect back air chamber for that woofer (important). Don't substitute woofers either. don't screw around with other woofers, you will be dissapointed. You can cross Erik's version at about 80 Hz...........I was going for 60 on mine because of the TH design I have. You gotta match it up to your Tapped Horn Sub. As a final note to this thread for me, I like to send out a heartfelt thank you to all memberof this forum for their contributions. I'll be moving on to the PA segment for the time being as I've landed an incredible oppurtunity to setup a 3000 sq.ft bar/lounge with both a passive and an active(mine) setup, and the icing on the cake, will be the 300 seat theater, complete with a 5' high, 80' long stage and the ceiling height, as far as my eye can see:) Floor noise in there reminds me of a morgue, you can hear the slightest sound from long distance in there. We will need to build all types of gear as the owner has just taking possesion of the complex, and I'll have my hands full just with the learning curve. I'll be all ears and open to all ideas to make this dream a realty. Thank you all once again and hope to hear from you in the future.2Sick 2Pray. PS: Claude I will PM you with regards to mods on the FH-1 as I just bought Morays SP-1's, and when I can afford it, I'll give your straight axis bin a go with delight.

Looking for the response curve to help match a sub in my brothers setup. Thanx in Advance 2S2P

Just need the response curve for KG4's as I'm trying to match a sub to my Brother's setup. Thanks in advance 2S2P

Spearkerfritz; will this design be able to stand alone or rely on corner loading and will it compare to the FH-1 that Claude and Moray speak of ??.2S2P

Claude: I promise to learn how to use the HR program. Your so right , until you can actually measure it, talk is talk and bull scat walks. I am still very interested in your straight axis design as I'm not so restricted by the footprint as I was before. I thank you in advance 2S2P

Which one? I'm going with 2 Tangband 38Hz tapped horns as it will be both, easy and cheap, for R/L channels. They will get up to 100hz so that leaves me more options for bass bin choices as I'm going with the k401/k55m mids crossed between 400-500hz's for now. I'll find K402's one day and that will change my setup drastically. Quick note, my personal life has changed for the best as I'm now in the process of deciding on 2 lounge/bar venues to DJ for, and I'm looking for a shop, complete with modest living quarters, to take this whole DIYing to a whole new level.This is a dream coming true and all with the help of everyone here.Thank you all for the support. Regards 2S2P

Claude: Your right, I'll keep to the subject at hand. I am very interested in your straight axis design, and will be grateful for the info. Not an exercise for fun. I am trying to get a wonderful nearfield experience,and an open venue capability all in one. Like I said earlier, I want the bins in various venues with an eye of exposing people to the DIY world. All this is very important to me and I do appreciate all the help you members have added to the thread. Regards 2S2P PS. I think I will stick to Volvotretter's Sub.

Moray / Speakerfritz / Claude: I stumbled onto a Nelson Pass Open Slot Baffle design that might interest you guys. I'm trying to link the the article, no luck. Type in Open Slot Baffle Nelson Pass (google).2S2P

Yes Speakerfritz the first is what I was proposing from the get go, and the last pic looks to me like the 555 bin. Like I said earlier in the thread that I was going for the look , not for the technical side of the design so much, only hoping to be as good as the LS or the 555 bin. I now realize the error of my ways.I have now learned so much just in the last week or so from all of the input in the thread and will need to draw on that . I will now have to the build more precise designs because soon I will have a large lounge/bar venue to DJ for. Dimensions approx. 120' x80' plus a large outdoor patio with seperate speaker system. This will be an adventure with lots of designs to experiment on. Got to have Tapped horn subs for sure. 2S2P

I am proposing to come out of the rear corners @ 90^ up to the point where the roof panels start to flare inwards. I 'd like to flare the outside panels at the same flare angle, to the original 24" depth of the original LS ,and 555 design. If I understand you correctly, the downside would be very fast exit flare and compromising the mid frequencies? 2S2P

I will retrack the Bi-radial comment ,as my clumsy fat fingers and brian did not connect. To many turns to get to Albuquerque:). 2S2P
