I want to try my hand at horn resp. Still struggling with the rear enclosure volume and also, where exactly does S1 begin?
For selenium 18sw2p.

I can post dimensions if anyone is willing to assist.

s1 = s2 upper right corner.
and ad vtc and atc(font chamber.)
its a short hybrid th like the cubo but bigger
do you have a pdf drawing?

you should moddel it like i did here

Thanks ,was planning to have it rear loaded ,I'll try it .
I have a pdf ,used google sketchup.Untitled.pdf

It kinda reminds me of Cubo Sub though it's bigger. You might want to have a look at it for the bracing details. Personally I would loose the corner reflectors, unless they're used as bracing-type, then I would change the size.

Best regards

could you provide some ts parameters on the woofer?
can't seem to find any.

i did a qiuck ruff sketchup,and came up with this.
not to bad at all
the grey is 1 sub ,black is 4

Thanks ,I think I get the drift now.I must try it myself now.How will it compare with the cubo 18?
