TB W4-1879
Hi
I would use this driver in a Quarter Wave.
In MJK´s sim the "infinite baffle" shows a drop from 300 Hz, leaving very little to work with in a Quarter Wave design.
You do not see this drop in the SPL plot on Tang Band´s homepage, but you can see there is a little less bass than you would expect looking at driver Fs and Qts.
I tried different designs, adjusting tuning frequency, volume, stuffing etc.
I even checked different sources to be sure the T/S parameters where correct.
It might be useful in other designs. However, this is not a driver I would choose in "my design world".

Hi guys,
I am writing here to share some of my experience with my first TABAQ build (with Monacor SPX-30M). A couple of posts ago I wrote that I have a peak in the mids that is covering the bass a bit. I haven't tried the BSC filter yet but I tried EQ-ing a bit. If I attenuate the frequencies above 700Hz with 3-4 db the sound gets muffled but I found out that if I just make a notch at 700Hz the sound gets a lot better for my ears. I will show you the EQ later, because that's on my home PC. Maybe I am getting used to the sound of the speakers or they are burning in, I don't know, but now the low frequencies are there and I pretty much like the sound. They sound pretty balanced and punchy.
So if someone is considering to try the TABAQs with these exact speakers - I hope this information is of any help to you.
Maybe the Tang-bands sound much better but these Monacors are very very cheap here in Bulgaria (around 12-13 euros a piece).

Thanks a lot for you survey.
.....if the adoption of more expensive driver into TABAQ does not bring the reasonable results I am fine with the 1320sj....

Hello,
Working on a set of the TABAQ LG with the W5-1611SAF. These are exactly to the dimensions in the plans that Bjorn so awesomely put together. I have a couple of questions if anyone has time:
1) The BSC I have calculated is 1mH and 3.5 Ohms in parallel. Is this too far off?
2) Has anyone augmented the plans for the Scanspeak 10F/8414G-10? And if so what about 2, in a MTM design?
Once again, any help is greatly appreciated. I did some googling but couldn't seem to find the answers.

1- sounds good, but it will depend on your room and placement near or far the wall behind the speakers.
2- 10F should do fine in the original TABAQ. MTM much more difficult because drivers need to be placed very close together... but not impossible with a little imagination and trickery! 🙂

Hi all,
I am finally putting my Mark Audio driven Tabaq's together and have had a change of plan with regard to the port.
I am thinking of making a downward firing port with a tube. I would of course raise the cabinet on some feet.
I have seen Bjorn's test enclosure in a previous post (#1507)
My question is, can I put the tube fully inside the enclosure or would this mess up the tuning of the cabinet?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

That could work well.
I'd be a little concerned about the effects on the bass if it's not directed out the front of the foot of the cabinet. But that's probably sort-able with the details of the feet / foot-plate and cabinet stuffing.

Hi Chris
The design is with the port outside, it is a part of the line. If you change this you can still play music 🙂 It will change the design, but how much I dont know.
I know that placing the port in the front, at floor level is good solution.

Hi jerms, hi Bjørn,
Thanks for your replies.
Maybe I'll have to go back to the original plan! 🙂
Thanks again.

Very nice looking, dasroot.
That's not the 10F driver! 😉
And is that a Large version of the TABAQ?

Yes, it is! I have it crossed at 3600 with an lr4. I have a new found love for ribbon tweeters that I'm nursing.
Cool, so, extended lows with the bigger driver, and extended highs with the ribbon tweeter. Sounds like a winner!
It is the w5-1611. This is the driver that the large tabaq was originally designed for I believe.
