This looks nice. Its littele to deeph for my place,but i can go in height.Here's a thread with the old DB Keele JR. K151 W-bin:

In the same bulk one could pack a longer 1/4 wave path.
Here's some dims found in alleged Belle plans - I removed the internal grille for better clarity. The flat panel on the front could host the vents and perhaps with a cover when one wants a sealed back chamber.

Thx! I will see now what can i do. First i will try make back chamber bigger and vented. Then we will see how this works.Here's some dims found in alleged Belle plans - I removed the internal grille for better clarity.

Uuu,many interesting designs. Thank you!If you can use Brian Steele's spreadsheets, he has a ported Wbin sheet at his site that may help with juggling geometry and models.
In the end,i will finish with 5 woofers in my living room 🙂
And divorce🙂
Here are 4 more WHORN plans if it still help anyway.
Soon, I will release 2 parametric CAD models for this loundspeaker type.

Thx! Everything helps. And also its nice to have all this in one place for future builders.Here are 4 more WHORN plans if it still help anyway.

All this designs are cca 700mm deep. And i have only 550mm.
This is the biggest problem for making horn with dimensions like this. I can go in height 800 mm,maybe more if needed,lenght is 1250mm max and depth 550mm max.
What if i make one of this w bins from plans and turn the mouth of the horn facing floor,and put box on some legs,maybe 100-150mm heigh,how this will work?
Or its stupid idea?

So,after some pauze on woofer project,im again on the begining,not sure what is the best for my needs.You could easily test a H frame with your 18". Maybe you will like the result. It is easy to try.
One my friend is big fan of Linkwitz and OB systems and he said to me,why you wont try H frame? You can do that in less then hour,you can start with that. Than i remenber your post also. Im a carpenter,and have full work shop,so i decide to give it try. It really take one hour with making plans for cnc. Some scrap leftover boards and here it is.
And im really suprise.
Its so atacking,clen,deep,massiv and loud.
My amp is 150w for this purpose and i have problem to make volume not to loud for rest of system. It play on minimum minimum,and its enough. Wow!
And H is like 4,5 time smaller then pland w bin.
Now i gona experiment with H to see if this is what can make me satisfied.
Thanks for advice. Its good start if nothing else. Finaly this monster start to work for my dallas II 🙂
How to calculate how deep H frame can go?
The easiest way is in Hornresp. Run the Loudspeaker Wizard and select Direct Radiating and then H Frame (or similar, it is there). Modify driver parameters and dimensions to taste.
Im not sure how to put parameters wright.I try few times but something is wrong. Can any body help?The easiest way is in Hornresp. Run the Loudspeaker Wizard and select Direct Radiating and then H Frame (or similar, it is there). Modify driver parameters and dimensions to taste.
If no one is faster, I will post the hornresp record tomorrow, so that you can experiment with it.
Here is a W bin I found many years ago.
I have made a few of them for different speakers and it sounds OK.
Its for a 12 inch driver but can be scaled for 15 or 18's.

Run the Loudspeaker Wizard and select Direct Radiating and then H Frame
Just to clarify, the Input Wizard under the Help menu should be used to create the record, and the Loudspeaker Wizard under the Tools menu (when in Edit mode) then used to adjust the input parameter values.
To specify an H-frame loudspeaker, select the following Input Wizard options:
- Half space
- Direct radiator
- Open baffle
- H-frame open baffle

Thank a lot man!Here is the Hornresp record with Kappa Pro 18 LF and 50 cm total depth. Put it into the Import folder, then File / Import / Hornresp record.
It looks not so good as i was thinking.
When i listen,it works so nice,but graf looks very bad.
is it posible that parameters are wrong in hornresp?
