Hi Albert
The best You can get with the flat 10", an amasing driver, is the Schmacks horn, use the plans for 8" driver and move the first wall of the "cone" one inch so You open the "throat area" about 5mm per side. I have modified the Schmacks design for Beta/flat 10"
units, a lot more complicated to build but if You want drawings let me now.

Hi Albert,

unfotunately I can't email you through the forum as that is disabled in your profile.

to email me, just click the email button below - or send mail to "flat at snafu.de"
best, LC

 

[BTW]

The Flat 10 is similar in specs to the Beta 10 so you can use the Coral designed BLH for the Beta 10 or you could also put it in the Coral designed BR box for the Beta10 like what we did.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

The highs were a bit weak so we added the ESS AMT tweeters on top , a very musical combination

Beautiful nice drivers, seldom seen today! (At least not by me).

Do anyone have some info to share about Coral's history, it would be interesting....

East Marine Drive's website probably has the best Coral documentation around. Btw there's also a interesting Flat 10 cabinet design right down below.

East Marine has the plans for this 5 port BR Coral box, which you can download. The diameter of the pipe is 75mm in diameter. This BR box is simple to build and sounds very good too.

Coral Flat 6 in pipes

Hi Albert-
I used my flat 6Bs in tall straight pipes, similar to the Cain and Cain Abby. These are modified Voigt pipes based on Martin King's and Bob Brine's design, located on the fullrange driver forum.
