Hi Mats,

I am not using 4 on each side. I will be using two on each side. Until now I always liked sealed enclosures. However Tad drivers are more suited to ported configurations. If you do not push them to go too low and have a reasonable fs point, the port won't be audible. This is what has been told to em by a very experienced speaker designer. I am giving that a try. I will have 4 cabs with ports, each having an 1601b. They will be around 180liters each and will have an fs about 38hz.

Supravox 285 is more suited for my horns as far as I can see from the simulations. I also did find a special edition of this driver made by Hornfabrik. They use it on their top end horn systems upperbass horn, which is roughly the same with mine. I have throat compression. You can find the simulations and how I implemented the throat compression in my own topic. (http://www.romythecat.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=21722)
