The Aries15 -a dual horn design original

[djfoundation]

Ok, despite the fact that it only serves to highlight my crude and juvenile techniques, here is a drawing I just made in paint of everything we used to construct. Obviously, this is not to scale. You can see at around 60" from the throat origin I start to waffle on the correct angle to measure distance, but we stayed as close to the flare model as we could. I'm pretty sure the outer cabinet dimensions are correct, and it's all mirrored on the other side.


The purple flare is the model, the blue diamonds peaking out from behind are us, taking measurements every 10" or so, with a few extra stops. We stayed pretty close until those last two.. the old (brown triangles) one was a different configuration we scrapped.

The circle is just a wooden dowel for support.


Anything that anyone could tell me about calculating throat size (area? or volume?) coupling, etc. for use with Hornresp would be immensely appreciated. I can't send you scotch in the mail, but you'd have a friend in Madison anytime you visited.

Thank you jbell for the time you've spent, it's already made the picture much clearer for me.

I finally sat myself down for < an hour and figured out McBean's (thank you!) hornresp program. There's still some stuff I'm not too clear on, but I get the basics. (damn my stubbornness to doing math, it's actually quite simple!)

It isn't anywhere near ideal, but here's the actual curve, based on the construction drawings. I'm not sure how to account for the chambers combining at the mouth though, so I just entered it in as a single side.




would that smooth out if I had three more stacked on top? I should also note there is no throat chamber but the sub fires into the beginning of the flare. Is that really bad form?


Anyway, now I'm itchin' to build something else. correctly.

thanks for the input/advice/guidance!

heh, yeah. I just found that in another thread. I've been to speakerplans too, just never thought to look in the forums... . eeeeverybodys got a forum.

thanks!
