FSP Subwoofer Shootout ! (24-25/05/08)

shame i couldent get to this - sounds like it was interesting and a good laugh as well.


ill definately try to make it if these is another - and if im free, so is my rig. I would love to hear how my nexo si2000 ported horns sound compared with chris's. mine are not home grown by any means but it would be good to have a comparison between the 2.


ps - hbl, if you are reading this, how did your hogs get on last night. got stuck at this boring conference i'm lighting at the moment, so could not make it down. We might have to doanother when ive got the 21's ready to go. any complaints from the neighbours?

am i being a bit thick or does it not say anywhere how much juice the cabs are getting on the plots? or is it irrelevant?

So Im guessingthe red line on the plot is the 15" horn. Looks rather intresting... whats the situation for the plans?

The measurement system wasn't calibrated for SPL so it's all just relative. We did try to calibrate and at 1W/1m I think the ported horns were close to the simulated midband efficiency of 105dB/1W/1m for a single.

Regarding the plans, I don't know at the moment. I don't normally like releasing complete plans but I don't mind giving some hints if you want to do something similar.

Thanks for the comments, nice for someone else to confirm that you're heading the right way!

Those 2*12 tops certainly prove you don't need mid horns - and that tops don't need to weigh a ton either.

Been waiting patiently for the plots?Any news Chris...Would love to see how the martin H350 performed and the 215..and my frankenhorn..please

I would like to have the plans for the ported horns. Are the plans to have?
would be very happy if someone can send me.
