are these the plans for the enclosure?? I'd love a copy on the pdf..pleeese???

Do you mean open the pdf? I previewed the post, which showed the attachments with no problem and sometimes preview them, though I open them in a new tab.

Yes, the Weems baffles were a cross between a corner horn and a Labyrinth. The first used a 8 inch driver the second used a 12 inch. He later did one called the Hi Five that used a fifteen inch with two 8 inch and two tweeters. I've been trying to up load the plans for the 8 inch but am not having any luck. I reduced the PDF size and will try once more.
Got It!!~ Many thanks!!! I didn't remember all the pieces at the bottom, but KNEW something else was there!!
Possible to get the one for the 12 inch speaker as well??
Again....MANY THANKS!!!

Synergy/Unity Foam Core Horn
Here is my latest exploration into a Danley SH90-inspired multi-way horn. The horn is 24 x 24 in x 9 in deep with 90 deg x 90 deg coverage. I have been working on a design to do this as a 2-way speaker with a 6.5 in woofer and either a CD or a dome tweeter. Since I have TC9FD's on hand, I decided to give the first prototype a a try with the Vifa's. I am using some low cost Pyle PH44 CD's with built in 90 deg horn which I then integrate into the main horn - this lets the critical CD throat region maintain a well-designed curve for best performance. I used Bwaslo's Synergy spreadsheet to calculate the dimensions and then modeled it in Akabak. With the the Vifa, I should be able to get about 150 Hz on the low end so it should integrate well with a sub. With the 6.5 in woofer I should get to 60 Hz. Still needs a real XO, as of right now running the Vifa's full range and the CD with a 2uF cap. Probably needs padding as it sounds a bit bright. The good thing is that the design is very efficient (loud) and the directionality is very uniform. The mids and highs are very clear and quite nice. A lot of fun with 3 sheets of foam.

Wesayo: I will post clips as soon as I get some recorded and trimmed to fit in the 1MB limit.
Rjbond3rd: The horn expansion uses a formula prescribed to best promote a uniform expansion given 2 flat conical sections. It is a trade off between size, frequency, and coverage angle. You can see how it is calculated if you look at Bwaslo's spreadsheet. There are several threads on the Synergy/Unity horn in the multiway forum.
I have a size constraint of 24 in wide and I wanted 90 deg coverage, the spreadsheet calcs how big to make each panel.
