davey, i've just been looking back at your posts in the new project forum and taking a closer peek at your sketch and at fitzy's drs. whilst there are some slightly tricky areas at the back of the cab, i reckon you're on to an absolute winner, or at the very least an idea that is worth prototyping. with a little shuffling there is as you say plenty of room to fit the 8" and 1" drivers sat physicaly between and above the motors for the 10"s. the use of sealed drivers here makes a really tight fit possible.
i'm thinking plumbing pipe of different diameters can be used to make the perfectly smooth transitions we are looking for in the horn flare, all good stuff. is the addition of a sloped insert in the final horn flares to get rid of the last parallel walled section a good idea i wonder.
which 10" did you use by the way, i can only find spec on an sn10mb, no mention of a b model... this gives lots of options though, you could build an eminence/p-audio/de250 box for ~£200 or a b&c/rcf/de500 model for ~£500 to more or less the same plans, you'd kind of be hoping the second of those alternatives was louder and nicer though. probably around twice as loud and twice as nice! it's the mr8n301 that nails the price, yet never have i lusted after a single driver so much.
james.
