Phase plug diameter

#1 Post by Mikesummers »

Hi Bill etal. On the omnitop 12 and other horn loaded designs, you specify a larger diameter phase plug for a lower frequency crossover. Can you explain why this is? What happens with a wrong sized phase plug?

Thx

When I prototyped the cabs I tried various phase plug sizes for the two crossover options. What worked best is what made it into the plans.
