ClaudeJ1 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 When @DaveA gets done messing around with wooden tweeters and such, and finally decides to built this, it will be one Badass Big Boy Bass Horn!! BBBBH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Picking up wood next week Claude. Extra incentive is that I think I have solved my K-402 problem also. HEY how come you get to say A-- and I don't? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Dave or Claude--could you show the Hornresp input screenshot with all the driver parameters and horn segment sizes used? Your basic horn/driver configuration might be useful for other fold geometries, too, or perhaps the horn length stretched a bit--for other needs.

Chris Dude, the only reason I pushed the basic design out to about 9 feet was because Dave refuses to use a subwoofer, so any further length stretching, as you put it, would require a further name change, like MONDO MWM!! I already posted it elsewhere by another requester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Inductive rolloff might affect the 400 Hz. output, but I'm trying to get Dave to cross at 300 Hz. or less if possible, so it could be inconsequential. Besides, he already has K-43's from John Allen as built by Gary Gillum, the co-patent holder on the MWM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I have the 15PS100 and K43s. The 15PS100 are what I found to work best in my snail horns (which I don't want to discuss). They are very good. You wanna really make some noise.....try the 15BG100. Those will take your face off......but will struggle to get to 300Hz. 15PS100 in my application would get to 400Hz even with complex folds.

Marvel Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 @jwc Do you still have any of that pro gear left... like the floor monitors with the 15s in them? Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 @Dave A Just got a pic from kg4guy, of his building LS bins that are deeper and have the sides flare, making them also wider in the front. This also gets rid of parallel side channels. His old posts from around 2011 don't have pics attached anymore. I assume a forum upgrade ate them. The doghouse is standard LS size. I'll try to find the outside dims. Bruce 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 He based them off of John Allen's cabinets but extended the front. http://www.hps4000.com/pages/555_.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise the KPT-456's are so much better than La Scalas that I would build a variant of the 456 before any La Scala type cabinet. What was the end result of these? Did he measure them to know what they really did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Dave, I can't answer that. I think he didn't test them but used them in a p.a. setting with solid bass at 50 ft out. Yes, your super mwm would trounce it... you can't change the physics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 I figure that La Scala type bin construction would be a real improvement but guys who know more than I do say it would not be enough to warrant the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 He made these in 2010 (?) and did some measurements, but as with the pics, all attachments disappeared. 38" wide x 32" deep x 23 " high. @ClaudeJ1 did you ever model the larger LS? You were going to but you may not have gotten the horn dims. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
