Thanks guys.
These were what I was to make for Project May. I was a year late and $10K short.
I made a made a dozen of them so now I just have to make something with them. They do sound great for sure.

If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.
Damn Barry! That's gorgeous!
Now, how about banging out a new intake manifold for my VW?

Doc Mark snapped some pics during the throat machining process when we were out there in November 2014. I don't think the final iteration of the molded parts were done for some time after that.
Behaving like TH-4003 means no EQ needed.
There was someone in France (J.P. Voiturier (ARTEC company doing audio electronics products)) who studied a horn dedicated to TAD TD-4003, free to use for diy. May be pos knows how to find the corresponding information. If I remember well it was published in the former Revue du Son macazine.

Rich, do you have TD4003 drivers at hand?
That design, or the original TH4003 one, would require EQ with a JBL driver anyway.
If you are looking for a passive solution then the 4367 is probably one of the best possible choice today.
I think the horn itself is available (I know an individual who managed to get his hands on a pair), but the D2430K is expensive.
Hi Pos,
I think we'll end up designing a horn .... I can get the 4367 ,but I don't the cabinet that wide .... 120 litres looks very good for the 1500AL ,So keeping the dimensions is a must . Although , I'd think seriously about buying one 4367 ,scanning it and making a clone in wood . I have the TAD 2404 here, but I wont be messing around with them as far as taking them apart .Unless... someone wants the TH4003 cloned and wants to pay for it .
I have 2450sl and truextent here . I have a friend to help with the measurement and theory ( horn design ) I thought the 4367 sounded awful at Munich . Certainly wasn't inspired by the driver or the complete system .
Sorry , Herman , Widget ..... Can I take all my nonsense to another thread ? . I seem to have unwittingly taken over this ... sincere apologies .

As richluvsound mentionned that he plans to build another pair of eXclusive 2404, I expected a new pair of TD-4003 to be concerned. Of course with a JBL 2451, at least one high shelf will be needed with a TH-4003 or Voiturier's horn. No need with a a TD-4003 and I think probably also not with TD-4002z.
I didn't like the TAD 4002z when I heard it .
This is not a 2404 .... was never meant to be . I have some expensive parts sitting here doing nothing .... I may as well build a speaker , sell it on ( already sold and thank fully not to the usual low-ballers) and put the proceeds toward keeping the 2404 sitting in my living room
Hey , its all fun and it turns out there are some great choices for horns including designing a new one .... thanks for the PM's folks.

>>>I didn't like the TAD 4002z when I heard it .
Rich, I have the TAD 4002 and I don't really like it either. Too bright, like an arch welder. However, on the JBL 2384 horn, with the accompanying, HF rolloff, it sounded more balanced and quite acceptable. This combo is not bad but need careful EQ, one that will bring up the highs but not activate the shrillness and edginess of the TAD 4002.
