Mike, why not use smaller drivers? The horn will do the hard work of moving the air, so you don't necessarily need a large diaphragm area. You can either save space totally or use the saved space to make the horn go a lower. I'm basically repeating Bill Fitzmaurice' points here...

Mike, why not use smaller drivers?
Because my 15" has the required Vd

This is no bill fitz horn
A horn that is longer,with a smaller driver will be displacement limited in the midband which is what i DONT want..

I can input 240w rms and still within xmax with my 15"
+ i already own it,so why buy another speaker for no reason.

The reason i wouldnt go buy a lab12,is that the BL is lower causing a larger unloading effect at the horn flare frequency.Also I dont have cash pouring out my ears

Regards
Mike.e
