Back Loaded Horn

UPDATE: Having built this and listened to it for a while, I can say that it is not as good as I'd hoped. I've not measured it acoustically (no facilities), but it sounds a little muddy. I think the edges inside the folds in the horn take some of the crispness out of the sound. That's my hypothesis anyway. Plus the horn was always going to be a little bit pushed, given the size. It's a nice enough looking, compact speaker, but I've other designs that sound an order of magitude better using much crappier drivers. I don't think I'd recommend this one.______________________________________________________________________________This is a compact back loaded horn, loudspeaker carcass. It's an experiment, but the dimensions were designed using Hornresp, a horn response analysis program by David J McBean. The baffle is intended for a Foundtek FR89EX driver. There is no space inside the carcass for a step compensation filter - I haven't quite gotten there yet.I've done a couple of other things using hornresp, but this one is the most compact, and is specifically designed for manufacture using the cnc machine.Overall dims: 306mm (L) x 190mm (W) x 134mm (D)
