Hi All
I have designed my first speaker using horn response. I guess its a bandpass which is intended to be used as a kick.
My question is: at s2 its quite a small area, this is matched as its supposed to be in my horn response simulation but i wonder if such a compressed area will result in other unwanted effects such as distortion etc. Furthermore would this be considered as the compression ratio???
I am no expert so any constructive critisism is appreciated.
If anyone has any suggestions to how i could improve this design please let me know.

I cannot help myself comparing your horn proposal with a comercial design I am using for 100-500Hz (after taking out the coaxial mid-high). It also presents a bottleneck zone before the actual widening of the horn. It could be explained as a bandpass design and what I can confirm is that it has a lower cutting frequency that what the flare and lenght of the horn itself indicate: https://audac.eu/eu/products/d/hs212---full-range-horn-speaker-12inch#section-downloads
