my understanding of a w-horn is that its a bass horn
I guess you could call it a w-horn, since it looks like one
apart from its calculated to only 120hz(+/-)
and yes, the small widerange drivers on the front is an ispiration from Ingvar's Hilden horn project

I suppose you could add ports to the rear chamber to improve LF response a little.
Hornresp has this option.
would need much bigger back chamber ?
but I dont know
its not a real tough woofer
rather cheap 12" (Sovereign 12-300)
but ok quality with nice midrange

just realised why not to use ordinary medium Qts drivers for front horns
and pretty obvious, peaked low rolloff in a small back chamber
apart from that, a 150hz horn looks easy
use all the available space for a backchamber it might still be possible
btw, I tried a small Onken slot port calculation with the 12" Sovereigh, and looks like it would work nicely

another update on my weird xo
I can now fully understand why some people wisely avoid multiways for bass guitar
several times I have experienced tuning and pitch to go complete wack(off)
its certainly not simple at all
next crazy project, big weirdo 18" 'fullrange' 😀

Which modeling program are you using?
It's certainly not been easy, but in my case I have been really happy with the results once I threw enough time (and money!) at it.
ears 😀 and my guitar 😉
actually, my ears just went complete wack
one ear closed, and it hurt a bit
changed a few resistors(again)
ears improved immediately
as did my playing 🙄
sound as such doesnt change much really
its all mainly phase issues
sure, crossover is not too good, its crap
just fooling around, needing components
in the meantime, I put my ears at risk
and its not a joke
Depending on how high the basshorn has to go you could use a bandpass horn like the old turbosound ones were.

100hz to 2khz would be ok 😛 not sure folded is so good
anyway, I removed the tweeter series inductor
sounds better without it
it dealt with some electronic issue I had with effect units
and those were removed a while ago
the only effect box I use now is a compressor
and only because it gives a little exstra gain I need

Up to 2 kHz would be fa too high. Even the 800 Hz that EV used for the old "Eliminator" Basshorns for instance was too much IMO. Let alone for a bandpass horn.

folded bass horn is way too big for the standard famely car anyway
my own next project is planned to be more 'lightweight' 😉
I almost have the sound I like now
its just too heavy for easy transport
so now the challenge is to achieve the same, just in a smaller package

This is a quite elegant looking solution but I fear that it doesn't differ that much acoustically from the other horn/reflex hybrids that are around. But it might be a little more complicated to build compared to the latter.
Do you know the cube shaped front-loaded horn from "Klinger". It is quite compact with a side-length of 60 cm. But you would of course need a high-efficiency midrange that goes quite low.

it is midhorn with apperiodic backchamber, not reflex...thats the difference
and I wont risk loosing it because of a too high port tuning 😉
anyway, I bought the plywood today
I need to test it before I build more
2 or 4 would be cool 😀
