Good job, now ya got Krypto messing with hornresp you jackass. I like to refer to myself in the 3rd person with my SN for as much detatchment from my true self as possible.

So I downloaded the crap, followed data entry tutorial, left the top horn portion alone and filled in driver data, pressed calculate, don't hide resonance, and here's the crap that I got:

not a graph


(and I quote myself in my sig too)

Well alright, did some playing, heres what I captured with PrntScrn pasted to Paint until further instructed:

Decent midbass horn on your first try. Not bad!

 

[kryptonitewhite]

you just remember Max, you did this. Youre responcible.


Oh look! Only .2446mm at 51.06Hz with 1 watt!

Ah! A friendly voice, thats the spirit that got me through REW! Thanks for showing up Scott!

 

[kryptonitewhite]

alright, now what do I do to start altering things? Where do i even begin?

 

[LTD02]

click on the horn type until it read TH. what you have is not a tapped horn. zero out vrc and lrc.


you need a longer horn and larger area. something kind of like this for 15hz with that driver.

Looks more like 2.4mm to me but ... umm...oh wait. nvm.

Wish I could lend a hand but this all uncharted territory for me. Again, good luck.

that error means that your volume of the rear chamber divided by the length of the rear chamber is smaller than the driver area. in other words, the rear chamber is too small to enclose your driver.

Thanks 02! So are those the numbers in the very top row of hornresp?


(White Paper is once again giving me a headache, see sig )

 

[LTD02]

i posted a quick mockup in post #7 to help get you going. then you can change the parameters and see how each change affects things.


you can use par instead of con for the horn flare if using a later version of hornresp that has it. i have an old version without it.

dude I'm sorry, I missed it! I alread went in and changed Vrc and Lrc both to 20, my bad!

Welcome to hornresp......


After about 600 hours, you'll realize hoffman was right.....nothing is free...


JSS

 

[LTD02]

max, i would be curious to know what exactly hoffman said. i know folks parrot size, sensitivity, depth (pick two) all the time, but did he actually show the equations and do his tradeoffs apply equally well to all subwoofer form factors?

Excellent question! Horns seem so magical and so it always gets repeated: "NO FREE LUNCH! EVEN WITH HORNS!"

I am not seeing horn type

 

[LTD02]

click on the TH in red that will cycle through different horn types. TH is of course tapped horn.

 

[kryptonitewhite]

well of course, and Front Loaded etc... but I don't have that?

 

[kryptonitewhite]

fooled around, got it

I saw differences in your driver data from mine so I started the data entry process all over and after a few boxes realized you used the 4 ohm, I should have just left it, but here is with 8 ohm.

 

[kryptonitewhite]

so Sd is 1426 and S2 is 375 so the ratio is 3:1? I assume this plastic square cone equivalent to a 21" round cone would no longer maintain it's form factor with some watts?
