And where exactly do you place your listening chair in that horn ? 😉

P.S.: Very nice build.

Can you help me please, here is a measurement of a DE250 in a JMLC700 (green) and a Fane FH450 (red).
There is a problem with the phase at 1.1K 😀
My microphone is perhaps defective, i should probably knock it few times on my table in order to fix it !

Are you talking about the "wrapping"? I don't see anything wrong with the phase. Since 180 and - 180 are the same thing, it "wraps" the graph simply to save space.
I've been on pintrest looking for inspiration, I'm probably going to end up with a fricken rectangle with a horn on top. I should at least try to round the baffle edges.
There is a type of enclosure where the ports or many slots, I forget the name...I seen another enclosure where the guy used several longitudinal slots on the sides for the port. At least, the first instance its a known enclosure style that supposedly has increased performance. I'll figure out the name in a second.....its dinner time.

I presume you mean the Onken, a specific alignment of a type of Jensen Ultraflex [fig.2]: http://www.dcaudiodiy.com/jensen_imperial/page_14.jpg

The TD15M just barely meets the Av = Sd ideal w/6.34 Onken alignment.
For 'best' = 5.7 alignment = ~ T/S max flat, vents will need to be < Av= Sd, but still 'good enough' to get some of the Onken's Fb boost: HiFi Loudspeaker Design
GM
edit: comparing these two except with a single large vent, which can be easily retuned, the smaller 6.34n seems a better choice overall unless of course you want the multiple vents for their industrial 'look'.

I think you just said a single large vent is suffice. I really don't like the look of the onken alignment with square slots., I was hoping the same could be done with multiple round holes.
This is the other Jensen design with the vents at the front, that you see more often:
Such cabs are more difficult to build compared to good ol' BR cabs.

Camplo, it may be beneficial to you to read the JBL AES paper on loudspeaker ports, entitled:

Round is most efficient and a single large vent will be shortest length with the [potential] downside that its harmonics will be the strongest, so sometimes need to be 'critically' damped whereas with multiples like the Onken tend to be resistive whether you want them to be or not and yes, they can be round. The patent prototype BR: US1869178A - Sound translating device

Their combined harmonic structure causes what I consider excessive comb filtering with the driver, making a mess of the critical lower mids, though many folks prefer this euphonic distortion, so go figure: https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/ap...daddad6c53c3c7d23ea37f05b5b241d1476ed7a9b9253
