how bad would it be to make this a little smaller? 25" tall instead of 30" - 22" deep instead of 19" -- 22" wide instead of 15.5" making the V bin 18" where the speaker is bolted in. putting 2x4 bracing all around the connections and port
want to be able to slide it under a table or turn it on its side and mount a speaker pole
thanks jim-HU

Anybody simulated with hornresp?
The input window of Hornresp with frequency response will be better
This way we can simulate first the drivers we can use.

One of the companies (fane, emenence, or someone) has some old wbin plans for a 12". Dont think its ported, but thats simple to figure out.... Check out tda audio's site, beleive its therekentech wrote: can it be resised for a 12" woofer ?

diz is w-bins designs and yaah, n RCF G401 is gud spk for reverse bins.
can this cab be optimized around other speakers?
l did scketch measurement .the cab is rather too big .if lm to make 4 of them l will need a truck 2 carry them so can l make it for 15 inch speakers ? Do u have a plan for 15 inch drivers
what drivers did you use on this cab ?coz lm thinking of making 2 cabs using p.audio sd 18 and is it a long throw cab? .good work mate
screw and glue on the tip of the v bit, u could allso fill the void in the v with foam......
Thanks bee, i am a bit worried if its not screwed, it will create some noise due to vibrations on the edges?
looking at the plan i would say yes they do touch at both points you have marked out. done a quick rework of the measurments on paper. And again the v does touch the upper and lower part of the baffle, Hope this helps.
thanks bee, how about on these portions, should be no gap between the tip of the V shape and speaker panel? please refer image below.

the v bit sits level with the driver panal this would leave an 18mm gap to driver. 18mm being the thickness of the ply wood.
most w-bins load from the back, but look at the plans..... the driver sits on the inside of the rear chamber. You may be able to change the plan and load driver from the back.......
On second thoughts you cant change the plan as the v bit would then be wrong.....

Does the V shape touches on the panel where the speaker is mounted? Or has a small clearance? I was wondering cause it might create some noise during bass vibrations.
Most of these have the back removable, complete with splitter.
you would load the driver in sideways from eather side...... so the acces panel can be put on the left or right side.......

How can I download Plan? I have an Alpine SWS-12D4 Would like to use it... Would it work for this? Suggestions?
if i high passed the driver with my active crossover would this work as a kick bin?
Is there anyone out there who has simpler horn for long throw subwoofers, HELP?????
so once again if swapped for a 15" all dimensions go the same?
Nice design tapped horn really goes low but for long throw it's a fail, this enclosure would work at it's best in clubs and enclosed areas well, if using on the outfield i would recommend incorporating folded horns to accomplish a long throw affect.
Very interesting box. How would Fane Colossus 18XB perform in it?
As far as I am aware I don't think tapped horns throw as far as folded horns, and they don't gain as much from stacking either. For other questions on the design you might be better off asking on hornplans.free.fr as the designer marc is on there.
might stir up a few opinions here but this could be an excellent scoop replacement!!!!! i fancy building 4 of these cuz they go loooow smiley20 ! are they long throw horns cuz i have never heard a tapped horn before????? they look impressive though
All dimensions stay the same if you choose to use the 15" driver? What about the Eminence Omega Pro 15A?
Just in case any one is interested, for a cheaper option the eminence 3015lf will work well in this (simmed)

Cubo 12:
Like it’s bigger brothers (Cubo 15/18), Cubo 12 is a multi purpose, stand alone bass bin. It will equal or outrun a single 18” BR* , from 50-55 Hz and up in terms of sensitivity. Given it’s external size of only 97,2 liters Cubo 12 realizes an unusual power full and light weight cabinet.
Cubo 12 will perform with a wide variety of 12” drivers**. The use of strong bass drivers with high power handling resulting in a surprisingly high maximum SPL for such a small cabinet. The usage of lighter mid bass drivers might (dependant on T/S-parameters) results in higher sensitivity, lower weight and extended bass response up to 140 Hz. There’s a good chance that your 10” bass or mid bass driver will perform just as well, except from noting a lower maximum SPL and/or sensitivity.
Development and design:
Based on the proven design of Cubo 15 and Cubo 18, Cubo 12 is designed to perform with 12” (and even 10”) drivers. Due to it’s unusual high SPL-capabilities 15 mm, 11-ply Baltic Birch is the preferred material of construction. Cubo 12 has been tested with a wide variety of 12” bass and mid bass drivers of which the measurements have been listed below.
A single cabinet can easily be made from a sheet of 153 x 153 cm (5’ x 5’) or four cabinets from 3 sheets of 244 x 122 cm (8’ x 4’).
Size: 45x45x48cm Frequency: From 44 Hz up to 140 Hz Enclosure Type: Hybrid
Footnotes:* 18Sound 18LW1400 in a 175 liter basreflex tuned to 37 Hz. (6,6 ft^3) vs. Cubo 12 (with all drivers measured). ** Apart from those drivers measured Cubo 12 will work with a wide variëty of 12" (and 10”) drivers preferably with an EBP of 100 or higher; Fs (30-52 Hz), Qts (0.20 - 0.37), Vas (50 - 125 L) / (1.77- 4.42 ft^3). Where EBP = Fs / Qts. If you're uncertain if a driver is suited, PM or mail me at questionsaboutCubo.at.gmail.com

Note: The red dotted lines indicate how you would be able to cut 4 cabinets out of 3 sheets of 244 cm x 122 cm / 8' x 4'.
The red dotted lines to the outmost right indicate panels equal to the first column (of panels) at the left, for the second sheet the panels at the outmost right would equal the second column from the left, and so on.

How would a thomann 18-500 speaker play in this Mbp 46?
Cut a nice big hole in the back of the cab and build a door/hatch that can be replaced and air tight.
Hi everybody I have all boards already cut to build MBP46 but i dont know how can i do to change the speaker in a long time when it doesnt work ??
im very confused i dont know cause im gona use glue to build them.
thanks !!! :silly: :silly:

Mr Thawach, would 15 inch kapparo LF be suitable for this cab?...how does it compare to cubo 15? thank you
any of u guy ever think about using the 15MBP-46 over scoop as a kick bin??
It is usually to reduce standing waves. That is when the cab dimensions lend to a rather hideous resonance of wavelengths matching the distance between panels. It is also sometimes used when the box size is smaller than ideal for a speaker, as the ploy fill stuff can slow down a wavelength, and sort of simulates a bigger box.
i have a probable stupid question,what is the purpose of insulation in some cabs
Thank you thawach
I will look at different designs then.

hi Mikkel ur drv is not suitable for the 15" cab. the drv is suitable for sealed cab
Hello peeps
I've got a few questions.
Are there any plans for a 15" version of this cab?
If so would the Eminence delta 15LF ( www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=EMIDEL15...wsemode=manufacturer ) work in this cab, would be using them as stand alone bass until i can get some dedicated subs to take over the low freq.
Also im new to all this so im not the most confident of builders so is there anyone here I could ask a few questions on the assembly of the cab/ reading the plans etc, it would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
Mikkel

about 18mbp46 think that someone worry that der magnet hits the panel. i adjust the back panel a little. u can see the pic. and i sim the graph respond with der same drvs. enjoy when build gays. smiley2

the cubo is a sub and sounds good below 100hz and has good efficiency at those frequencies!
where as the mbp-46 is an allround bass cab and plays comfortably upto 150hz, it can play down to the low 40s but has high efficiency in the kick region (70hz-150hz).
hard the compare them as they're most efficient in different regions of the hz scale!
thanks joe helps to explain,yes the sound are very different. cant compare them. many people in thailand built der cubo und mbp46 but more than 50 from 100 built the 15 mbp46 after i posted on thai forum. cubo is best the same, a friend only played 2 boxes in party(because after finish 2). he said very happy with the soft sound. friends i sim der 15mbp46 and compare 2 drvs . please see the graph below. smiley4

i like the look of this box i would wanna try a pair but never hair them before how would it compair to the cubo 15 in the same frequence range?
hi all gays the thread seems no has any update as a long time. today ill update the new pics, the pics show that try to show the boxes and sell them.all guys 2 boxes about 3 dollars is a good price? :idea:

What is better this speaker or the mhb-46
i have not simmed this one yet, when i get around to it ill post for you........ I have a few other progects on the go at mo, bitzo on this forum also is very good with akabak, he may have the script, or plotts.
so, does anyone have the scripts for MHB in akabak ? 
if u have and don;t want to share them.. please make a print screen of Group Delay, Phase Response, SPL Response 1m/1w and Cone Displacement at 1w for this woofer radian-tech.com/pdf/Radian%20L128402.pdf

akabak is prob the best sim prog there is....... all sim software are close but not the same as real time plotts, akabak plotts hf freq's much better than horn resp, and there is no limitations to the types of cabs you can design........ the more advanced the script in akabak the more to real time plotts it gets........
ah... what software is used to sim this cab ?
nobody build this cab ? how does it sound ? Phase response, Group delay... this are important parameters of the cab...

This cab is pretty simple to sim, but hr isn't very accurate for this type of cab because you can't set the port distance from ground.kentech wrote: did anyone built this cab because nobody posted pics with this build....
