Suggestion BR Cabinet for TangBand W4-1337SDF

Tried a different browser. It did show up there.

Really bad below the mass corner (300 Hz or so). And even the extention is not as good as the small reflex.

Which sucks like an asthmatic echidna on the top of Mt. Everest. Although since it appears to be a gated in-room measurement (likely at 1m), it's difficult to tell what we're actually looking at -the room response, as usual, is screwing up the LF something chronic. However, from that and the impedance curve, it's reasonably safe to say the box is tuned somewhere in the high 40s, with little suppression of F3 in particular, and FR dropping < roughly 70Hz.
I think I will build a nice br cabinet for them.
 
I used this driver in a horn of about 30 liters volume, tuned to ~60Hz. I added a DSP high pass filter at 55hz to minimize excursion. (This helps a great deal.) They played pretty loud, and if you said “choose a single driver full range system to take to a desert island” I could be pretty happy with it.

I’ve attached the crude drawings I gave to my carpenter.

I did a triple chamber reflex for these back in 2007, and Curt Campbell assisted with the contouring of the FR at the time. I called them "3CR-Ti", and was quite impressed as long as I was on axis. Move a bit and the top end rolled off. The cone rings like a bell around 10kHz, and MUST be suppressed. The interestingly different baffle step Curt applied worked very well, and the bass alignment allowed very good bass response while keeping the driver well controlled. I don't know if it's still accessible on the net, but several others built it with good things to say afterwards.

Jed Kunz did one called F4 or F44, something like that, and I heard the R4 version used with a ribbon. It sounded great....

I had a quick look at the video (these are mostly usefless, the first thing that woulkd have me clsoing the video that he is building with MDF).

Scott explained in nice detaill how useful a driver offset is, on first look i’d say teh line is way too long.

I have checked the calculation / dimensions.
This TL is designed for Low Tuning and not Classic tuning.

Nice online calculation tool!

Edit: I uses another cabinet width then the original design….

In all simplicity it is a 4 " speaker

And resonance is 70 Hz
So that is what it does

More like 130 Hz in a box.
Compliance doesn't care for much more than 3 or 5 liters.
Anything larger is = distortion.

Crossover frequency is same old 200 Hz or up.

Dont know what woofer is being used
so can do BR for that one.

.5 Qtc is pretty much 5 liters.

so vented is over at 3 liters
tune it at Fs 70 Hz

or unload it faster into distortion, and make the graph pretty
and flat by high tuning like most 85 Hz

all it does. not a woofer
sealed 3 to 5 liters crossover 200 Hz

Revised plan.
I still like to go for a nice BR cabinet.
With changeable port length.
