C/E/X PA Flat to 30 (FT30) PA TH Awesomeness

[djk]

Go to a library and borrow a book on filters.

The Active Filter Cookbook by Don Lancaster is good.

A filter in an EQ or crossover may be modified to have the center frequency and Q that a specific design requires.

I just realized in your dual 12" cab SPL plot that since it's 4 drivers which means only two cabs. That might me pretty excellent if 4 cabs were used! BUT, I don't get those drivers here tho (not to my knowledge)

The plot on the left goes with the box on the left, correct?

i agree that using more smaller subs is the way to go.

i designes a 350 ltr cab with the eminence,and a 280 ltr cab with 2*
b&c 12 lw 801

ill look into your design now.

hi justin
it is 4 boxxes with 2 speakers each so 8 in total
no free lunch
i think it was an 18 sound driver if i remember correct.
the "good" thing about this design is,because its a single fold,it doesn't loose much volume in the corners(only 2 corners), less destortion ,and simple bild.
you could try some other 12 inch wich is availeble on your side of the pond.

Might you be able to shrink the size of this cab (while increasing SPL) enough to maybe hit flat-to-35Hz w/4 parallel? Would this make a significant size difference?

Also, what should I look for/what's considered 'bad' in the phase and delay graphs in Hornresp? I've got a couple models that don't look too peaky and a few that spike (yikes...I assume).

Reducing the response from 30 to 35hz makes quite a size difference.
I attach my latest proposal for you.
It is based on the SS15 so I,m fairly confident that it should work OK
The size is very similar to a very famous 18" TH so it should be big enough
No apologies for using the Precision Devices PD1850 as this is the driver that I,m interested in using - I have no idea how cost effective they are on your side of the Atlantic!
Still within Xmax at 80V down to 31Hz so a fairly low hi-pass would be OK.
Hornresp info for 1 and 4 cabs also a PDF with more than enough info to make sawdust.

You could also use my B- Low Rider design, it gets down pretty well flat to the Low B (32 Hz) using Peavey low rider 15s, a very good inexpensive speaker. It is a 2 x 15 design, but a 21" looks like it would almost fit.[/QUOTE]

Can you send me this plan for the low rider 15s.

Thanks man

Xoc1....any other drivers that you can model in that box? around $300usd each?

Your 3015lf for example:

I could be wrong but I don't think the specs listed in the PDF file allow for that sub to be built from one sheet of ply? Not that I'm concerned about that I was just curious

I was careful not to call my design SS but prefixed with TH
Where DJim refers to it as SS no doubt he is referring to the actual hornpath layout that is similar to jbells SS15. The concept was to take advantage of the SS15 hornpath, that seem to have performance advantages as discussed in the SS Challenge thread, and expand the size. Shamelessly the overall dimensions are similar to the Danley TH115/118. The idea being that this should be big enough to perform well.
As such no compromises have been made to optimise for timber sheet sizes. Instead the dimensions are set for optimal performance. The mouth being almost completely square for instance.
