2.1 Soundbar with B3N, Airborne UR151B4 6" sub, and amp/crossover!

Designing a soundbar!

Using B3N woofers, based on Zaph's design:
http://zaphaudio.com/audio-speaker18.html

Posting this in Subs...as the soundbar will mainly be on the sides of the enclosure. Wondering if I can find a way to put a TH in here for the sub!

Since sub will be in close proximity, will likely cross over at 150 hz. That may be the upper limit of the BT 2.1 Amp I'm planning to use:

(I can' t find the hipass spec now... but I don't think it went up to 200hz)

and the sub!

Thankfully the 2.1 amp will give control over the bass, so I'll have tons of low end headroom.

I'm entering specs into Hornresp - but I have questions:
Is Mmd same as Mms? Is the CM correct? .83 mm/N on specsheet, but 8.30E-01 in Hornresp.

Just realized I have no idea how to configure HR for a TH. I'm imagining a soundbar with a wrap around chamber... like a C shape - one end has driver, other end has port... ends up facing near the driver?

Something doesn't look right in HR for driver specs... says Fs is 1.94 hz !!! I don't see a spot to input Fs of the driver! Can someone take a look above at my screenshot and tell me what I did wrong?

HR export is attached too.
Thanks!

No; re specs in general, best to just load T/S and let HR auto calc the rest

I just realized - this has a nice looking black aluminum cone... but there's not easy way to show the front of the driver in a a TH... aside from a plexi window or 2 opposite the cone.

Also, I can only imagine folding it once... thus placing the sub at one end of the sound bar... so it will probably just be hidden anyway, behind one of the B3Ns.

I tried imagining sub in the middle, but then the opening would lose 1/4 of it's potential length...

You are not building a pyramidal enclosure, so do not use CON segments.
GM's text file shows the correct PAR segments.

Here is a 6 foot straight (zero) flare TH or TQWP.

Single fold (0.75" thick wood) = 7.5" high x 37.5" wide x 6.25" deep.
Double fold (0.75" thick wood) = 7.5" high x 20.25" wide x 11.75" deep.
