Bud,

Thanks for pitching the A45a and FR4.5, I never dealt with both of them and will consider them, though it is slightly disconcerting that all those drivers meant to be wide bandwidth and therefore have too much HF in them. Still, my initial candidate most likely be smaller 4” drivers, something thing like Pioneer A11EC80-02F or Radio Shack 40-1022.

Regardless the EnABL process I do not think that it is my concern at this point. As you suggest the EnABL process might help to hemp or to Lowther in open air but only God know what a driver might need what it loaded into a horn. Be advised that all front-loaded horns the you have seen among those the Lowther people use are not horns but pure and simple crap – they all are to wide and with too large throat for a proper loading.

Also, there is another moment. You suggest that EnABLing makes the driver smother but it is exactly opposite of what I would looking in my upperbass driver. I would very much welcome some narrow-bandwidth nastiness – if I able to use it. I have very clear picture how I need this channel to sound. It is not an accident that I liked the article about the “Resonating Oops” to this thread.
