THTLP
THTLP
Good day,
My first post. I am going to attempt to build a THTLP Front firing mouth option. I would like deep bass and I believe according to the document the wider the THT the deeper the bass. I am shooting for 30” wide standing upright in a corner. What is the difference or advantages between the Ultimax 15 and RSS 390-HF-4 as far as performance/digging deeper?
Thank you your help.

I think you've misread, but it's not that big a deal.
It should say something like "the wider you build, the greater low frequency sensitivity increases".
That's not playing lower, just the lower frequencies can be louder.
The design dictates response, and the design revolves around TS parameters for drivers. If the driver doesn't have suitable TS parameters, it won't work as well as one that has. In short, both the drivers you mention are fine, and you wouldn't notice the difference. There's more than one driver there, because it offers options for budgets etc.
Have a great time, show us your build and ask whatever you need to know...
Built:
DR 250: x 2 melded array, 2x CD horn, March 2012 plans.
T39's: 4 x 20" KL3010LF , 2 x 28" 3012LF.
WH8: x 6 with melded array wired series/parallel.
Bunter's Audio and Lighting "like"s would be most appreciated...

Re: THTLP
Oh! So the wider it is, the louder it gets. I do not need this to make my ears bleed I do want chest pounding bass for home theater. Thank you for clearing that up, I appreciate it.Grant Bunter wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 2:56 pmHi, and welcome to the forumV8DER wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 12:06 pm Good day,

Re: THTLP
I ordered a Dayton Audio UM15-22 15 for the THTLP build. I am undecided on the width. This is probably going to be a slow build as I am still working, but almost done with my Klipsch KPT clones. I wish I found this site sooner. The SLA/TLAH looks impressive, oh well.
Re: THTLP
Full recommended width or the widest you can.
In my opinion, increased peak volume potential isn't the important benefit of increased cab sensitivity. The wider you go, the less power you'll need for any given volume.
Here's an 18" THT and a 30" THT. The 5db difference at 35Hz means the 18" cab will require 3.2 times the power compared to the 30" cab to create that frequency at any particular volume. If a 30" cab is at 100 watts, the 18" cab would require 320w to match the output.

Re: THTLP
Very interesting. And impressive.
Do you have a similar graph for a 15" (minimal-size) THTLP?

Re: THTLP
Here's a 15" and a 30" loaded with LAB12's... not LP's though.
All the available charts are listed here.

Wow, thanks for that information. I appreciate it.
