Hope you don't mind Illusus. I had this pic of your Solo206 but couldn't attach it here so I posted it to FRF and linked. Definitely a better shaped mouth. What are you listening to now ?
I don't understand how Alain can enlarge the filter chamber, what's the science behind that ? Doesn't that unload the driver ?

squalor,
I am using Martin J King software, plus an other source to go lower in frequency...
That is, be able to go down to 30 Hz with still 90/92 Db ; and to do so
I enlarge the volume of the chamber .
The goal is to reach about 30 liters and have a nice Freq response
flat from 28Hz Up at -0.5 db ; take a look at the curve attached.
Regards.
Alain.

Don't mind at all. I took that pic during my fit check. Later on I added some Baltic Birch braces in the mouth and replaced some of the MDF dividing panels with BB after finding some left-overs from another project.
At the moment, I'm listening to some big Basszilla-like speakers, FE-166ES-R in open baffle sitting on top of JBL E-140 in large-ish vented enclosures, Aurum Cantus G3 tweeters filling in the top. The ES-Rs are de-whizzered and phase plugged...wow, what a midrange. the whole thing is about to be bi-amped with active XOs replacing the passive stuff, i'll close off the vented bass bins and use a Linkwitz Transform Circuit with them. I toyed with LTCs for some time and find that, when executed properly, the bass is very balanced; tight like a dipole, dynamic as a horn and lower than vented. The whole thing is a work in slow progress.
I still have some horns to play with, but much smaller than the Solo, my own design but close to the Buschorn MKII, a lot longer anyway. sOund satisfying with some RatShack fe-103s. I drew them full scale and built at the same time so no plans, sorry.
Hello all,
I just found several nice galleries solo 206 cabinets:

I emailed Tony Gee for hi-rez copies, but didn't get reply yet. If someone has them, please email me them zzzacko eta gmail.com
Did you use some paint for inner sides of cabinet? Or it is necessary for wool or other sound absorbent in horn?

I made a new zip file but its 163k+ and the system won't let me load it so however wants it just let me know and I'll send it directly to you.
The new file has updates on the acoustic stuffing
The .dxf and .dwg files are the same just different formats to suit your drawing package. There are 3 levels to the file
1) Drawing
2) Dimensions
3) Angles
HOWEVER--- when you open the file your software may choose an unsused level and will appear as a blank page. USE the level control feature of your software to see the levels I created.
Any questions feel free to drop a line
