MarkAudio CHP-90 Enclosure Options

I think that a folded TL would be the best for me for the CHP-90 but I also think I would need some help to do it!
Any practical suggestion on how to proceed?
Hmm, based on the following IME, an inverse tapered one is best overall since its 'system' specs (Qts + Rs) 'naturally' requires a large/long vent for max power handling in a BR alignment:

FYI/FWIW, IME and proved to my satisfaction when 'proofing' MJK's MathCad design programs against some of my own Tower/Column alignments from 'way back when', the vented TL (closed pipe) alignment (aka MLTL) range from ~0.312 - 0.624 Qts' seems technically good enough, i.e. from Keele's 6th order assisted bass reflex to his Extended Bass Shelf (EBS) alignment.

While the 'sweet spot' (mean) is a ~0.4412 Qts', a 'close enough' simple guideline is:

~0.403, Vb = Vas, Fb = Fs (constant tapered MLTL)

< ~0.403, Vb = < Vas, Fb = > Fs (inverse tapered MLTQWT)

> ~0.403, Vb = > Vas, Fb = < Fs (expanding taper MLTQWT/MLhorn)

Qts' = Qts + any added series resistance (Rs): http://www.mh-audio.nl/Calculators/newqts.html

Hmm, baserat på följande IME, är en omvänd avsmalnande en bäst överlag eftersom dess "system"-specifikationer (Qts + Rs) "naturligtvis" kräver en stor/lång ventil för maximal effekthantering i en BR-uppriktning:

FYI/FWIW, IME och bevisade till min tillfredsställelse när jag "proofed" MJK:s MathCad-designprogram mot några av mina egna Tower/Column-justeringar från "way back when", den ventilerade TL (closed pipe)-inriktningen (aka MLTL) sträcker sig från ~0,312 - 0,624 Qts verkar tekniskt bra nog, dvs från Keeles 6:e ordningens assisterade basreflex till hans Extended Bass Shelf (EBS) justering.

Medan "sweet spot" (medelvärde) är ~0,4412 Qts, är en "nära nog" enkel riktlinje:

~0,403, Vb = Vas, Fb = Fs (konstant avsmalnande MLTL)

< ~0,403, Vb = < Vas, Fb = > Fs (omvänd avsmalnande MLTQWT)



Qts' = Qts + eventuellt tillagt seriemotstånd (Rs): http://www.mh-audio.nl/Calculators/newqts.html
If you have time.
Can you make a hornresp txt file for me. Make me understand. Please.
 
Some copy/pasted info I've posted over the years in one form or another:
Margolis-Small's HP 67/97 & 41C calculator program if wanting all the math for vented, sealed: http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=3902

T/S max flat:

net volume (Vb) (L) = 20*Vas*Qts'^3.3

box tuning (Fb) (Hz) = 0.42*Fs*Qts'^-0.96

Find its net Vb, then its i.d. area (CSA); driver vertical location + offset + bottom plate thickness sets i.d. height

The vent/horn terminus opening causes a downward shift, hence the distances are further down than a closed box's 1/5, 1/3rd, etc., but both the driver and vent should be at a vented pipe's odd harmonics. You can figure it out using Hornresp's

'path' slider in 'chamber' or just use these as proven audibly 'close enough':
Z = (L)x ~ 0 (top), 0.217, 0.349, 0.424, 0.561

Of course the first one doesn't apply to any ~zero area [CSA] terminated pipe/horns and if your desired ear seated/whatever driver height doesn't line up close enough to your design, suggest you change the alignment tuning [pipe's length] by adjusting Fs to get it to line up with one of these offsets.

Vent offset only, depending on box HxWxD ratio: Z = (L)x ~0.651, 0.714, 0.848, 0 (bottom)

I only use/recommend ~0.75"/1.8 cm no void plywood or similar, so no need to brace beyond basic vertical, horizontal + driver brace, so just the 'outline' of Dave P10's bracing schemes, but until we reach concrete weight, can't go wrong with his if the extra woodworking isn't a big deal like it always was for me and others with severely limited build timeframes.

Hmm, made me go back and look at this and found a potentially very confusing error (bold)! :(

FYI/FWIW, IME and proved to my satisfaction when 'proofing' MJK's MathCad design programs against some of my own Tower/Column alignments from 'way back when', the vented TL (closed pipe) alignment (aka MLTL) range from ~0.312 - 0.624 Qts' seems technically good enough, i.e. from Keele's 6th order assisted bass reflex to his Extended Bass Shelf (EBS) alignment.

OK, I don't know how to make it easier other than go back to this box formula (20*Vas*Qts'^3.3) and make (3) sims in WinISD/whatever with all the same specs except one has a 0.403 Qts, one with 0.38 Qts and one with a 0.42 Qts and compare to what I posted concerning Vb, Fb where < = less than and > = more than

I start with formula 20*Vas*Qts'^3.3
Qts 0.364 original. Vb 14.24 l
Qts 0.380 give me Vb 16.41 l
Qts 0.403 give me Vb 19.93 l
Qts 0.420 give me Vb 22.80 l

A large straight transmission line (kinda short with no mass loading).

Perhaps SB20FRPC30-8 is cheap enought for you. 8 inch. I have not heard it. But I heard good things about them.
I have a pair of SB Acoustics SB16PFC25-8 and the sound is very good. I paid only 32 euro.
