    Nice work Steve,

    I know how much work one has to put into a system like that.

    Its looks a bit Romy inspired

    I used to have tapped horns too, but it didnt work out for me so Im in the process of evaluating different bass solutions now. Actually my setup is kind of like a pilot setup changing drivers and horns all the time. Yesterday I installed a pair of 2350 with 2482 that I will run a few weeks until the next horn/driver comes along.

    How come you settled for that midbass woofer? I think there are better midbass horn woofers. JBL has lots of them.

    How did you turn your midbass horns? I glued layers of MDF(dont know what its called in english) and turned them in 4 parts.

    Thanks Mostly,
    Yes, only so many ways that work to skin that proverbial cat

    The Eminence was a recommendation from a couple of fellow horn mid bass users. It also modelled very well in Hornresp and makes a great bass / drums midbass sound.
    I have had the chance to test a Vitavox AK-157. Not the fabled 151 though.
    What good value 15" would you recommend?

    The Eminence are very good value for money and do the job well.

    The tapped horns I find very fast deep and well ordered with a bit of room mode correction.

    I like your website. Nice turning / lathe work there. Allt på svenska! Jag är svensk talande, bodde i Stockholm och Linköping 10år under 80-90 talet.

    My next project will be a rectangular exponential flare mid bass horn...

    Steve,

    I far as I know one wants a driver with relatively high Fs and BL, low Qts and a rigid and light cone. Compare it with JBL 2220 for instance. The 2220 is a very good horn driver with exelent horn loading properties. JBL has lots of 15" good for midbassduty in horn applications. 2220, 2227, D130, K130, E130, 2135(which I currently use), E145.

    I agree with Mostlydiy regarding JBL drívers.

    If you want new drivers, check out UK made Precision Devices. I like specs for PD.154, PD.1550, PD.158, PD.153ER. You can buy them from Thomann.

    Eminence Kappa 15-A's in the mid bass and Kappa Pro LF-2's in the tapped horns.

    Thanks for the recommendations - I will do some Hornresp modelling with the T&S params and may save up some pennies

    Interestingly the first 3 of these all model about the same as the Eminence Kappa 15-A.

    The JBL 2220 that Mostly recommended models even better!

    Same for me. I need a midbass solution for my HT. I will dust of a few 2202A. Another superb horn driver.

    Holy moly... almost seems like earplugs wouldn't be enough... perhaps some adult diapers.

    72 subs….
    I wonder what these ones are?
    That's 32 more than what I've used, and even THAT was just bowel disengaging.
    …. but then again, they were Turbosound TSW-124 [24"]
    Come to think of it, they looked just like these ones! LoL
