my understanding of a w-horn is that its a bass horn
I guess you could call it a w-horn, since it looks like one
apart from its calculated to only 120hz(+/-)
I suppose you could add ports to the rear chamber to improve LF response a little.
Hornresp has this option.

just realised why not to use ordinary medium Qts drivers for front horns
and pretty obvious, peaked low rolloff in a small back chamber
apart from that, a 150hz horn looks easy
use all the available space for a backchamber it might still be possible
btw, I tried a small Onken slot port calculation with the 12" Sovereigh, and looks like it would work nicely

latest crossover revision......
another update on my weird xo
I can now fully understand why some people wisely avoid multiways for bass guitar
several times I have experienced tuning and pitch to go complete wack(off)
its certainly not simple at all
next crazy project, big weirdo 18" 'fullrange'

Which modeling program are you using?
It's certainly not been easy, but in my case I have been really happy with the results once I threw enough time (and money!) at it.
Which modeling program are you using?
ears and my guitar
actually, my ears just went complete wack
one ear closed, and it hurt a bit
changed a few resistors(again)
ears improved immediately
as did my playing
sound as such doesnt change much really
its all mainly phase issues
sure, crossover is not too good, its crap
just fooling around, needing components
in the meantime, I put my ears at risk
and its not a joke
Depending on how high the basshorn has to go .....
100hz to 2khz would be ok not sure folded is so good
anyway, I removed the tweeter series inductor
sounds better without it
it dealt with some electronic issue I had with effect units
and those were removed a while ago
the only effect box I use now is a compressor
and only because it gives a little exstra gain I need

This is a quite elegant looking solution but I fear that it doesn't differ that much acoustically from the other horn/reflex hybrids that are around. But it might be a little more complicated to build compared to the latter.
Do you know the cube shaped front-loaded horn from "Klinger". It is quite compact with a side-length of 60 cm. But you would of course need a high-efficiency midrange that goes quite low.

it is midhorn with apperiodic backchamber, not reflex...thats the difference
and I wont risk loosing it because of a too high port tuning
anyway, I bought the plywood today
I need to test it before I build more
2 or 4 would be cool
