RE: Hornresp 1st pass - comments/critiques welcome. 40hz "L" horn

When using HornResp start with the Design Wizard > Hypex With Driver. That will give you the maximally flat alignment, and it will also be the largest possible box. Then you tweak the various parameters to reduce the box size, at the cost of low end sensitivity and response ripple. Experience tells you how much low end sensitivity you can afford to lose and how much ripple you can tolerate. For instance, depending on room size you can sacrifice even 10dB of low end response if it's going to be made up for via cabin gain. Ripple of even +/-4dB tends to be dwarfed by room boundary effects, and those are best controlled with multiple subs. Speaking of boundary effects, with the mouth 5-6 feet into the room you'll get an Allison Effect cancellation centered in the 50-60Hz region. The usual method to get around that is to use a folded horn that keeps the mouth no more than 2 feet from the wall.
