Even tho my modded cab had more output, it jumps 4dB from 30 to 40Hz - where as yours only jumps ~2dB. I really would like flatter to 30Hz with the most output as well. So, sorry for puttin in that request prematurely.

73 remains my fave (size & output at 30Hz - bein flat from 30Hz). Is there an easier way to fold it?

If not, could you send me those details, epa?


Again, many, many thanks to you talented individuals!!

Post 73 (Epa) @ 2.83V
30Hz = 95.28 dB
40Hz = 98.58 dB
3.3 dB difference

Post 98 (Xoc1) @ 2.83V
30Hz = 96.17 dB
40Hz = 100.74dB
4.57 dB difference, so step from 30 to 40 Hz is 1.27 dB more...
Post 98 is more efficient at both frequencies as would be expected as it is bigger. External is 600 litres compared to 397 for post 73.
Biggest misgiving I have about the post 73 design is the small S3 dimension.
At 1236 this is about the same size as SD. You can see how tight the mouth is positioned to the rear of the driver. This would require care and adjustment to make it work due to the driver seriously restricting the mouth. I suppose an access panel would be needed to actually get the driver in the box!

restriction is not to bad because of the neodinium magnet.

You could design it so that the entire front panel (or a major part of it) is removeable. Not only will that give you full access to the driver, it will also allow you to play around with the mouth's geometry without having to hack away at any fixed panels.

i designed the post 73 th for the use in a cardroid sub aray.
this is why its symetric.
i like xco1 model 2,its a easier bild but for me a little to big.

i wil work this weekend on it to give you al the details
meanwile here are some designs,most of them are posted here.to make your choice more diffecult

yes the idea was to make the front parts removeble

@justin
what material do you want to use ,i srongly sugest birch plywood,but i cant look in your wallet
do you want to make it 12 or 15mm .
i need 2 now before i start working on it

Yeah, I use birch. At least 15mm. You don't think 12mm will have too much flex, even w/bracing? I'd rather be safer than sorry. Thanks a ton (again).

ok lets make it 15mm.i think 18 is a bit over the top.
horizontal there are only small spaces ,and vertical wil do some bracing in the middle.
front wil be removeble in one piece.
it might be a good idee to send you the dwg,dxf file when im finnished.
then you can make a 1 on 1 print on A0 paper(it fits)in the copy store.
cost about 4 euro here on this side of the pond

justin ,we need to make a new topic,because this has no longer anything to do with woodys design ,
