Brian Steele's tapped horn with Skar Audio DDX12

[BP1Fanatic]

It should, the Ciare cost MORE THAN TWICE as much as the Skar.

I wonder if this somewhat over damped lossless sim might be kind of light on the low notes in reality?

 

[Booger weldz]

Just yanked this well seasoned turd outta an old paraflex and the TS parameters are entirely Different than….

 

[maxolini]

Than the provided by skar....
What other car drivers will fit?
I'm getting tired of skar publishing some BS parameters and the drivers are all over the place
But inline of their published parameters on their website

 

[Booger weldz]

Ran it agsin

 

[maxolini]

So that's the real parameters..or you fried the driver 😜

Even more so as HR doesn't take all losses into account, i.e. the measured responses of a typical TH sim's strong high Q peaking tends to be flat to slightly over damped, so if simmed over damped.......

That said, if tuned lower and in a corner can be a fine performer.

 

[GM]

This dual corner loaded DDx12 OTOH using filters to roll off its peaking a bit...........

It’s fine, I’m surprised. It got beat pretty hard in that obnoxious high compression (175cm2–> 550cm2) low tuned Resonator paraflex screamer. Really fatiguing to listen to…

the Fs is 5 hz higher than ASSumed and the Qts is about 0.1 higher. I broke my scale while manufacturing ecStacy pills laced with viagara or I’d measure the Vas to see if it’s still tight 😝

 

[GM]

Yeah, too much compression wreaks havoc on a typical point source driver unless designed/built as a dedicated compression driver with the pioneer's ~ 8:1 CR, 3 mm Xmech.

 

[maxolini]

Well for me corner load is not an option
2Pi all the way....PA application.

So....
Pal12 then ? Or poc3 with something else than the DDX12

3.14 to 1 is not too bad. It's the 4+ to 1 ratio that are obnoxious high.

 

[GM]

Drivers are actually lasting for multiple events at 4:1 CR?

Understood, it's just a sim graphically showing some info I posted to BW.

Don't keep up with what all is available as there's way too many options nowadays; in the '60s -early '80s there was little to choose from and driver cost within a narrow range of choices normally set this DIYer's design.

@Booger weldz: Need to view it with the EQ activated.........

What do you recommend driver wise for those designs

 

[GM]

For Brian's TH? Seems like he'd know best.

 

[maxolini]

Not specifically Brian's ,but some that come to your mind that can fit my particular case.

I know you have many hours of flight audio wise.

So master Yoda can share a secret or 2 to a padawan.

😜

 

[GM]

I haven't done any based on box dims/foldings, only worked with folk's sims, so which HR simmed box?
