Vs the Hornresp suggested model, it's a little longer but with a much smaller mouth, and smoother response. My main concerns are around Vtc, Atc, Vrc, Lrc, but I think they're ok.
My thoughts on the build:
Rectangular build, 1:1.273 aspect
JBL 2220h driver
CON (conical) both sides expand, straight sides
3 segments; first vertical, 2nd and 3rd folded @ 45 degrees. Kinda L shaped.
Should fit in a room w/ 9 foot ceiling; mouth 5-6 feet into room.
Mouth placement on floor against wall (lath + plaster). Mouth approx. 35x44.5 in
Room 14 feet wide, 24 feet long
Upper crossover 270hz, 4th order to Oris Orphean horns. Hypex amps /DSP likely.
Best part - my son in law and his brother are looking forward to building them, and my daughter wants horns.
If I have screwed up, if I'm silly and there's a more efficient approach, let me know. I haven't been at this for quite a while. Thanks!
Back for a bit again. Ignore me if you like.
