Hi!
Merry Christmas!
I wanted to share that I just built Bill Fitzmauritz' s tuba 30 horns and I am very pleased with them, they sound great. Great horns.
Now I am aiming to build a horn for a top.
I have BMS 12 c262 coaxials on my archive, I calculated that the 60w compression driver delivers more spl than the 12", so I figured if I build a small horn for the 12" then they would mach. The horn would be 200hz to 1800hz. The question would be how would the compression driver act?

Typical coaxials employ compression HF drivers that are 7 to 10 db more efficient than their woofers. I doubt that any woofer horn will make up that difference. Bi-amp the coaxial and control it that way.
From a reputable brand, yes. But never ever again a simple crossover module haha.
On topic: I agree with the Bi-amp approach if that's something feasable.
I wanted to make it more effective than a simple sealed box.
But after reading the posts I understood that it is impossible.

It's possible to make a great enclosure but not every speaker works great in all kinds of enclosures. My 8" works great in a Tline, but sounds horrible even in the best ported box.
There are some port models out there to shorten your search. I'm mulling over something similar, but end up with a VERY large cabinet with the horn perched on top.

nice build!
one question though, what was behind the decision to orient the mid horn vertically?

These look very good, I would love to have something like this for my room someday 🙂
This is what I thought actually. I was allready looking around the net for some horn plans from PA and they look very similar to these horns.
I like horns in general and I like how they look. Even If a horn would give the speaker a 3 db extra it would be worth it.
A small sealed chamber, cross @ 200hz, 400w rms + a mid sized horn. what do you think?
My intent is to control directivity, with higher efficiency 'mid' Woofers. My current horn reaches quite low (around 700 Hz) the hope is to reach from 40Hz up to 700 Hz which has proven difficult.
I'm also mulling over the Onken enclosure, which will be simpler to build. It's purely theoretical, at the moment.
