There are plenty of DIY forums with HornResp sections, for those who want to design their own. Our purpose is to provide plans to those who don't want to design their own.

The Qes is way too high for horn loading.

Re: T30/T48/T60

No update, the statement is correct. It means there's nothing to be gained by going wider. Performance will be less if you go narrower.

Re: 2 DR250 build - Europe Materials

V coupling works by making the horn path longer, the T60 horn path is long enough without it.

Re: 2 DR250 build - Europe Materials

Cold slows curing and it also lessens expansion. One reason why urethane works so well is it expands into the pores of the wood. You want to maximize that. It cures best on a warm humid day.

Urethane needs temperatures of at least 15C plus humidity of at least 50% to cure properly.

If TNuts weren't a problem they'd be recommended. They are a problem. If you spin one getting the bolt out is extremely difficult. Using Loctite makes it almost impossible.

Re: First Build : Plywood Sourcing Challenges

Ryobi and Makita are both good. 2HP for freehand, 3HP for a bench mount. I have both from Ryobi.
