yes
The plans on the website are out of date.... the new ones aren't quite ready to post, but here they are.

Can i use a 127 in that?
No.
Vampyr was designed for FE127e... the link above is to the new plans
Not quite, Vampyr[e] was designed for the FE103E. Venom was designed for the FE127E.
I reckon we're going to have to have a pruning session Dave -too many spawns.

Good on you for catching that...
Venom is for the FE127e... i was talking to someone else about Venom just before that post (and watching a Jet Li movie) and this thread was about the Zigma which uses FE103 so you can understand my confusied state
Venom is about the same height as Vampr but quite a bit chunker.

Designed in the same form factor as the Zigma, but it should actually work. A new design, no-one has reported back yet on a build.

As I mentioned in my "FE103E" thread, if there was a truncated version of the Vampyr, I would certainly build it. It could be a large bookshelf design being a little wider, quite a bit deeper and a heck of a lot shorter, getting those mouths much much closer to the driver so they can work in small, short rooms... Just like bookshelf speakers.
Hint, hint...
Red Line is the sim, green line is my rough guessimate based on the sim of where it ends up once the high aspect ratio port comes into play... the horn loading might lift it a bit more than shown. Scott?
It also illustrates one of the reasons why the FR were removed from the plans page... (we are working on a side-bar so that people can make their own guesstimates)

Well since i already had the wood cut, i wanted to finish the zigmahornets neways. No need to waste all that wood!
My question is, can i use a less expensive speaker in this cabinet, like say a Tang Band W4-616SA? I looked at the specs and they seem to be pretty close. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hi tigh4life, here's a link which mentions another person substituting the FE127E (which links to the Affordable Audio site):

Dave (planet10) has measured specs here (note the Qts of 0.98):

Personally, I would say you could feel free to experiment since the cab is (in my newbie opinion) simply acting as a sort of wrapper (infinite baffle) to limit cancelation due to the backwave. Not saying it doesn't sound good though -- I'm only saying it's not really calculated to provide some specific support in the bass like most cabs are.

Radio Shack 40-1197. Should be fairly easy to find one with a apir to spare.
