59L Tapped Horn

That's more inline with the measured numbers and GM's txt file.

11" x 11" x 0.7854 = 95.03in2.
27.94cm x 27.94cm x 0.7854 = 613.12cm2.

if you push control/f6 while hovering the mouse over a certain dimension in horn response a unit converter pops up in a smaller window (I always forget this wonderful Easter egg)

That Z312 or Z412 custom driver has TERRIBLE specs. I think it's ONLY designed for BR type enclosures.

1 note wonder.

Go big or go home!

 

[BP1Fanatic]

Even better... BP 4 LIFE!

• Frame OD w/Gasket – in 13 ½

10 foot (304.80cm) 304 liter horn
14" x 2" throat.
14" x 20" mouth.

 

[BP1Fanatic]

LOL, the H03 horn...304 backwards.

Unfortunately in my haste I inputted 95.03 Vs the 613.12, so based on the original's 3:1 CR, 5.7319x horn/throat area ratio; scaled up it now sims Fs - 100 Hz DTS takes 38 mm Xmax/2 kW to reach 130 dB/m/2pi in a reasonably small ~218 L

Also forgot to note that I added 8 ohms Rs (0.518 Qts') for Vc high power heating........

 

[BP1Fanatic]

I see we are on the same path!
13.5" width is a tight fit when the driver's width is 13.5" too.

 

[Booger weldz]

Jeez…. I wonder what these super crazy resonance responses actually sound like ? So annoying to music🥲

 

[BP1Fanatic]

Yeah, the driver is terrible for music. It's a "burp" spl driver. Hence your ported car video.

 

[Booger weldz]

Yeah. For sure.

It’s still impressive what can be done and the guy in the video has a few really intersting electrical products (bluetooth bass knobs, etc)

Actually, falling back on Tom's original TH (DTS10) simmed being very close to attached, yet measured much more evenly with the help of a couple of acoustic dampers that can easily be EQ'd in room with DSP nowadays, though otherwise at ~ +/- 3 dB in the usable passband the room will dominate, so the only major variable is whether or not its surround and or its high Xmax will audibly degrade its performance, especially higher up beyond its XO'd BW even with an acoustic grill to damp it.

 

[BP1Fanatic]

GM's 30hz TH will get LOUD!

Those modern high-power car audio drivers are not designed for SQ - they are designed for SPL. Trying to use their T/S parameters to come up with a reasonably flat design that can actually be built will be ... problematic. And you're not going to get the results that the model suggests anyway because of the high Le and impact of semi-inductance on the driver's response. For those types of drivers, I usually take the approach of "design for power handling - fix the response with EQ".
