Default Giant Spiral shaped fiberglass horn for 8 1" Tang Bands

I just finished drawing up the plans for what would be my flagship, had I the funds to build it. I will be built though. This design uses 8 of the 1" Tang Band W1-1070SE drivers in a wooden Unity horn like configuration plus a giant fiberglass spiral rear horn. Frequency response is ruler flat down to 45 hz or so and hits 125db down to that frequency (corner loaded). The impulse is fantastic and group delay is comparatively moderate (averaging between 8ms and 15ms with a peak of 35ms at about 50hz. This design is so efficeint it could reach it's full potential with a very low powered amp(2-3 watts). I'm dreaming of the Trancendant Sound OPT SET.

Here is a link to the Sketchup Model: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehou...e7&prevstart=0
