Mine are going into a 9.25 x 6.25 x 7.25 dp 3/4" MDF 2.5 liter cabinet. Going virtually against the wall and the bass alignment looks better for this than FR-125.
I have an e-mail to Allen at T-B about vented vs. sealed. They look like they are to be vented but so close to the wall - what's the difference?
Also with the 8dB peak at 15-20kHz they apepar to be in break-up mode. Anyhow much better Qms than Fostex so I hope they won't have that bright edge Fostex are known for.
I ran my finger around the bamboo driver paper and I must say it is the most DEAD sound I have ever heard - a very good sign I think. I like the small Neo motor which allows better air flow behind the driver. Also cast frame is very nice.
Hopefully they will be forgiving enough and match well with "T" amp - my next project when time allows.

Well they are nowhere near as bright as my FE206e's. I listen to mine between on axis to 10 deg. toe in. I haven't listen to any other of Foxtex driver to compair.

All a can say is that the W4-1320 is smooth, and only once and a whlile have a bright egde. Could be that bump in that range.

The 1320sb's are out of the OB's and in old shop cab that were designed for the W4-616. I think 4L 1.5" x 5" port? Not perfect, but 90% of the time you can't pick the drivers position out of the sound field.

Mine will be going into Modded Bouchhorn MKII

OK just got mine in the mail yesterday.

Got someone thats going to test them for me so when he is done I will link the Praxis and Klippel reports.

T-B recommends:
"intended for thin or flat speaker box design"

Here is a 3.5 liter cabinet design from Aan at T-B:

Unfortunately, I can't seem to copy the .pdf file Alan e-mailed me. Here is the best I can do:

anymore work on these designs?

Hi Guys,
I am going to bring back a pair of these from the States and I would like to build a simple design that could either pair with a sub or stand alone at fairly loud volume. Have you reached a design that you are satisfied with? If so, could you please share particulars?
Thanks.
