Welcome to the IHoP

the wicked one is pretty weird...a combination between 4th order bandpass and a folded horn. some of the people on the decware forum said that, acording to the horn characteristics, it's shouldn't have any bass. but it's not the case..

Because the horn isnt what gives it bass, the 4th order configuration does. The horn allows it to extend up to 5,000Hz assumeing you have adequite drivers. :fing34:

i don't think so...

then the horn would be useless. if you simulate the wo as a 4th order bp, you get a very bad efficiency. which is not true.

the wo can be modified to be used as a center channel.

Exactly. The 4th order gives it the low end, the horn amplifies the output (boosting efficency) up to 5,000 Hz assumeing you have drivers that can run that wide of a frequincy band.

That is just my geuss, im not sure on that.

Decware forum pisses me off. They tell me power cords will make a system sound better.

I am thinking about making several steps with MDF rings and then takking filler and running that around on the inside. Then pringing out the desired flare, transfering that to MDF and then putting a dowle rod in the mdf, hooking that up to a jig to keep it centered and rotating on a perpendicular axsis and just scoup the filler around in there untill i get the desired look.

When it cures i will sand the hell out of it then take a negative mold of it with fiberglass. Transfer the Negative mold to an MDF Jig, sand, fill, and wax it.

I then make a positive mold and that is my port end. :)

SO MUCH FIBERGLASS! :(

i've seen something similar : port made out of mdf rings...

I would say don't do anything I wouldn't do while your off . But that's like not saying anything at all  :D:)

Bar Crawl on Thursday night, free kegger on Saturday, probably a lot of screwing around the rest of the time. :woot:

cb..that's how we made our flares..a negative mold...

it's long since found the trash can as the 8" ports were too much, ie; no gain at all over the 4" he currently uses.

then again, he runs a pair of tens....

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

Nice port!

i agree. but the guys over here are really narrow minded : i mean every cool install posted on the forum is a ground zero install. i hate it.

that install is going to be a demo car. gz demo car that is

Why not cut a circle with a diameter that matches the flare you want . Then use that to apply the filler. Viola perfectly tapered flare first time :)

No, after the regime had died down. I am curious as to what the value of the E is like there. The main reason I didn't answer is I thought you were wondering what the average board member knew about Romania and I probably know a little more even though it still is not much.

I assume 89 was the year that Romania voted in your first president and joined the EU shortly after?

IM doing a single port for length issues...and possibly output gains.

4 4" ports would be mucho long with 30Hz tuning in a smaller box.
