I've but all given up on the FE83En, but will certainly revive my interest if you have luck building a small horn with the current production version and achieve good results. But looking at the freq. response, it's going to need huge amounts of 'horn gain' to achieve any bass and I just don't know enough about horns to see how this can be done with a smallish enclosure. By 50Hz the driver is 20dB down, at 70Hz about 18dB down - c.f. mid range.
Another one , found in my digital library.
well it refers to a fostex T150, have no Idea what that is....
but what do you think of the design? How much does it help with the responce?
The offer of the drivers is very generous of you,... I will write you a message.
The design is called :" T150 " , supposed to be for the FE83 (older then FE83e)
Try Google "FE83e jp" pictures, you find a lot.
The Japanese love those little drivers and have alotof designs for them.
For the sound , I don;t know ; the CC is a bit bigger then my design, line lenght and the rest is about the same.
Most of the time the CC is chosen too big, and is reduced later to adjust the transition.
Scott can explain this better then I can, my English is not sufficient .

this might be as well a solution StartingOver Homepage Ž©�ìƒXƒs�[ƒJ�[�@BK10
unfortunately the kit is nowhere to get

Dave from planet10 has (had?) one in his workshop, perhaps he can chime in what he thinks of him.

One more thing what do you think about spiral horns?
building horizontal spiral horn with full-range driver
seem so be a alternative as well

IINM, the BK101 in Dave's workshop is running a pair of tweaked out vintage "FE103A" alnico Foster drivers
Re the Fostex hybrid - in short not my personal favorite of the half dozen or so designs in which I've heard the FE126E/n / EN
FTWGAD, I'd slightly revise my previous ranking of enclosures in which I've enjoyed this driver (at least partially influenced by ease of build) :
Woden Maeshowe (sorry Scott, it's just so good)
Ron Clarke A126
FH3
Horneshoppe / BH MkI (easily modified for larger driver than the original 3") this is also known as stirring the pot
Woden proprietary design for Cardersound: "Nina" *
Saburo
.....
.....
Fostex Hybrid
* Products
If you're really cramped for space and don't already have the drivers in hand/ on order or materials pre-cut, there are probably numerous other combinations that would be more well balanced and satisfying.

A dedicated FE126En variation, Valiant, is coming.

just when I thought I could take a break from making dust, and get caught up on amp projects
(is there an emoticon for "shaking my clenched fist"? - thanks Scott; but then I guess I've got no-one to blame but myself )

OK back to the basics...
so far I have two options in my mind :
A TB solution http://bgaudio.org/downloads/Visaton/TANGBAND/W4-655SA/MINI HORN.jpg
and a Fostex solution:
