Moreart,
Since you are soliciting public opinions then I would like to say that I very much do not like what you do. Calculate the area of your horn mouth and you get up to what region you have equalization from horn. Everything else is a regular direct radiator. Nothing wrong with it of course but I do not like that configuration. The key in a horn the reproduce bass is softness, the softness that is in my view is imposable to get by virtue of any other topology. In the horn that you made bass of MF never get soft, in fact it always sounds like the echo from a sewer pipe. I do not claim that this is how your speaker sound but any single speaker of the similar configuration I have heard sounded exactly like that, I can give you a long list manufactures and DIYers who made endless amount of similar constructions – that is very boring.
In horn everything is like a programming in 4GL language – whatever you do – works. The key is to make it to do exactly what is necessary. Do not fuck nether with geometry nor with common sense. Make a normal horn, without cheating with proper profile and see how it competes to you “boxed with wholes” and sub-sized mouth. As you have seen I tried do not comment about your horns in past. I comment, in many instances critically, about horns inhalations, I do not find that your acoustic systems are horns in my understanding of the subject. What you do is some kind of pervert waveguide system, I do not understand anything about the waveguide, I do not like how people talk about it and I do not like even the people who use waveguide phase in their vocabulary.
Anyhow, you was trying to get opinion, well you got it. I think there are many other forums where suck acoustic systems will be much appreciated and you will find in there many people who will kiss you in end of your own sewer pipe, sorry the waveguide.
