Fiddling with Hornresp - Peerless 831759

[DrDyna]

Just curious if anyone has messed with Hornresp, or made a horn subwoofer using a Peerless 831759?

I've got a few spares, but I don't want to go to a bunch of trouble if it's going to be terrible, however I am intrigued by building a set of horn subs just for fun to see how this driver sounds in one, even if it ends up being refrigerator sized.

Anyone ever try it, or can take a quick glance at the specs and tell me if I'm wasting my time?

Edit: attached specs.

Anyone? I was thinking perhaps one in this design fasion:

Hi,

Peerless-831759 in a TH? : Don't spoil the good drivers...use in a TL or in a T-TQWT_ML-TL_BR, Closed box... or in a :

No, specs indicate a keeper though, so bjorno's or do your own starting with soho's very flexible TL, TH designer.

BTW, loading specs into HR, then exporting them to a .txt file for posting allows others to load them or a whole design straight into HR [attached]. See pg. 7, 8 of the HELP file.

Thank you guys very much, that TL does actually look easier to build, too!

Edit: Google as I might, I can't find anything about Soho's TL TH Designer. Is this software I can grab from somewhere?

 

[DrDyna]

I like the way this alignment looks, do you think I could use Soho's TL-TH designer to model one like this for that driver? (I still can't find it though!)

Thank you guys very much.........

You're welcome!

Interesting, I usually have good luck with Google, but not this time unless I search for 'eazy horn': eazy horn - Google Search

Yes.

Thank you all again! I'm going to mess with this spreadsheet and see what I can come up with. I'll post an update before I put pencil to wood.

I'm pretty pumped to try it out.

Hi Jean-Michel,

Yes this is a good option too:

One more question, since I've never built any of these before, what would you guys suggest for wood? MDF? Ply? I know we're playing with resonances and wavelengths here, I don't wanna fry the whole idea by using something wrong!

Hi, Use good quality 3/4" PLY and cross-brace :
PS: If the extra volume of the cross bracing is added to the enclosure, the volume saving holes can be omitted:

Awesome, thanks again B.

One more question! I've started to play with some of this exported data in Hornresp, and using some information I've gathered from some posts in the hornresp thread, I think I've got the data exported properly, however it appears that the "width" decreases, which I expect, but it looks to me as though it's decreasing in both directions, which means the cabinet gets thinner as well?

I'm sorry about noob questions but this is my first try and I want to do it as properly as I can!

 

[DrDyna]

Does this look sorta how it should?

The measurements aren't right yet, I just kinda drew this freehand, but I want to make sure I'm on the right track!

Bjorno, my exported horn data has got to be incorrect. I've been reading tutorials all morning and I can't seem to come up with good measurements to use so that I can model this thing to the right scale.

Hi,

I'm very busy for the moment... but I made a quick drawing that may help a bit..

PS:I haven't used the exported HR data yet, Round off (up) my given dimension numbers to 1/8" ...I'll be back later...if you have more questions.

Haha! Thank you very much! I was off by quite a bit, here is what I came up with this morning. I'll make another model with these new dimensions if you want to check it out later.

Let me know what you think B!
