[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 5581444, member: 570419"] Those enclosures offer more 1/4 wave properties than helmholtz properties; they're much less like bass reflex than they are 1/4 wave resonators. You're also wrong about the expansion rate. Just because the expansion is small does not mean it will not have horn properties. What you're probably thinking about is an exponential horn that has a mouth cross sectional area large enough to support the full wave length of the low frequency cutoff. While exponential horns are the archetype of horns, that doesn't mean that anything not exactly like it will not have similar properties. Hyperbolic flares, linear flares, and conical flares are all methods of approach for getting horn properties and there is nothing wrong with them. They all have drawbacks to their design but they're still representations of horn designs. [/QUOTE]
