The DubHorn:Wi's TC 5100NEO loaded 20hz horn.

I had actually ended up deciding on using the Epic 10". Simulations showed that using 6 smaller horns at 500w each hit 140 at 20hz.

The 5100Neo ended up in a refrigerator sized enclosure, and stacking reflex boxes proved the better option as it had to be mobile. The LMS-R12 faced the same issue.

6 smaller boxes that soak up more power and are easier to move than a large one seemed the way to go.

Then I ran out of money to continue pursuing the project, so it is on the back burner right now.
 
Now that is impressive!

Is this still a tapped horn, similar to the one JBell suggested?

Are these epically huge?

Regards, Ben


P.S. Yes, I want one, or 2, or however many I can transport.

A little clarification...from the guy with the model....😀

Good to see ya Wi.

That is a 1pi number, (wall loaded) as Wi typically does indoor gigs. I feel 0.5pi is too optimistic, even for indoors and corner loaded situations.

The simulations show 90 dB+ at a watt in, and will take 500 watts within xmax. To get to 140 dB at 40 Hz, it takes a total of 6 cabinets, each fed 500 watts.

These are tapped horns, approximately 300 L net, so they'll be 12 to 13 cubic feet when folded. Since Wi slowed down on this little project, I did not ever fold one for him. I'm ready when he is, but for those of you that don't fully know the pace at which I fold a sub.....don't hold your breath waiting. 😀
 
hey it's mike and wi... it's a party!!

how's bowling? any 300 games?

Mike, glad you got wi a reasonable sized cabinet -- I never quite got to 140 for him on things I simmed. dayton titanic 10 with 100-620cm2 with a 500cm length got 137@20hz/400watts per/8cabinets/1pi.

A bunch of epic10's is a whole lot more reasonable than the 5100/refrigerator...

what do you think mike --- insubnia maxima?? Many folks would love to see something like that if you ever get the time.
