A challenge for those whose spatial imagination is better than mine.
I would like to build two tapped Horn subs with these approximate dimensions. This is for HT use. Would like < 20hz response with an 80hz xover. Cabinet impedance needs to be no less than 4 ohms. Will be driving them with an Emotiva XPA-2, one cabinet on each channel (300 WPC at 8 ohms, 500 WPC at 4 ohms).
My form factor criteria is that it needs to be more or less 2' square by 4' in the other dimension. If one were to cut a TH-Spud, and fold it in half that would be about the right size. The mouth should be near one of the ends on a long side.
The driver compliment is less important, I currently have 2 CSS Trio 8" drivers that performed well in my TH-Spud prototype. (BTW, that cabinet is free to a good home, pickup near Ft. Lauderdale Fl.) I also have 2 Titanic 10" drivers. I am willing to purchase additional or different drivers that would be < $400 per cabinet.
The main problem I see is folding the horn in 3D, as most builds I see are folded in one dimension only. If anyone has a successful HT - TH that could be refolded to meet these criteria, let's see what we can come up with.
At 364 liters the volume should be OK, I am having a hard time visualizing how the folding might work.
As always, smaller dimensions are acceptable.
