Hi
read the Replicon-thread
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55721
to find some information.
a simplified plan is on Till's page:
http://www.hornlautsprecher.de/projekt_alpha.htm
A german magazin Klang&Ton reported the cheap-tricks N. 193 and 194 with this speaker (mentoined in the thread above)
A more typically "resonanz-theory"-speaker with 60X is in the galery on Till's page:

Thank you guys!
I like the look of this "Backloaded Horn" ( http://www.hornlautsprecher.de/galerie_henning.htm ), but I don`t see any plans/specs.
As I`m a complete novice, I`d appreciate if there are any plans for these drivers.
Alpha project is good and I`ll consider it.
Replikon - I simply don`t understand it
Also, any other suggestions warmly welcomed.
Thanks!

What about a 14 to 17 liter vented-box?
Similar designs (with more expensive Fostex drivers):

Since the 60X has proven to be a drop-in replacement for the old RadioShack 40-1354, Bob Brines' simple straight and folded ML-horn have been popular designs (especially the folded version) where high average SPL isn't a priority: http://www.geocities.com/rbrines1/Pages/Straight_Pipe.html

GM said:build one of the larger, higher gain horns.
Any concrete suggestion?
Well, the 60X sims 'close enough' for me in a variety of 40-1354 cabs and based on a conversation I had with Scott awhile back about the Monacor's mids/HF performance it 'sounds' like it has a bit higher audible SQ with enough extra HF extension to possibly not need a super tweeter, so wish they were readily available in the USA at a similar price as I have an old 40-1354 tower design (aka MLTL) that requires no BSC once toe'd in ~the same as Jordan recommends for his JX92S.

You're welcome!
AFAIK, none of these will have much real bass extension without either BSC or near boundary loading. At best they only give a mid-bass 'bump' which in the early days of HIFI was considered 'bass'. With today's wide BW systems with real bass though, you run the risk of overdriving the speakers even at low average SPL if not protected by what we called a 'rumble' filter back in the early days to protect speakers against turntable (TT) 'rumble', so to acoustically do the same thing either sealed or ~aperiodic is the way to go, making a Fonken alignment an obvious choice.
There's not many 'free lunches' in audio, it's usually all about balancing trade-offs.

Mmm. You beat me to it Bob. Kind of falls under the definition of tradeoffs Greg mentioned, don't you reckon?
Frankly, short of doing something that really wouldn't be a good idea for a first project, I'd be inclined to slap them into a simple BIB, MLTL or similar with the requisite correction, as suggested above. It's a really nice driver for the money, the Monacor. Bit of a pain to get hold of, even here in the UK, but it can give some more expensive gear a heck of a fright.
