The Saturn: Death-Horn Build/Addition (10kw+)

Thanks guys //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I used my last bit of resin today layering the side more and expect my 2 more gallons I ordered tomorrow to hopefully have time to fill that top gap and layer a bit more before a competition saturday where I can test this out as far as finding a rough peak etc on this power (still have the 1k hooked up so huge numbers arent be expected)

You have any ballpark figure of what it will be tuned to or sound like?? Never really see a "calculated" large horn like this

In the original post I believe I said all of the calculated specs lol but I predict ~28hz tuning once the 10's go in...with 10.3 cubes net and still the 200 sq inches of port area (a bit large on port area but should be fine with how much drag the port has with the turns etc)

And this isnt a true horn...more like a very large flare on a ported enclosure, so its basically just adding a chunk of port length onto the existing enclosure and funneling everything forwards + cutting off a bunch of airspace in the rear area

Metered a 145.5 @ 40-43hz today with the Crossfire 1k which was about what I was thinking...going to get the other side of the enclosure/horn sealed up and hopefully a nice little gain from that and some sanding/filling.

More when it happens, hoping to get more work done tomorrow

Thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

And I got a bit of work done today. I got the passenger-side of the horn built up a bit near the end of the flare to smooth it out. I also got the driver-side seal piece molded up..

**** me thats alot of fiberglass

Happen to have a good chop mat source??

Also are you building these seal pieces to simply mould right into the horn with glass?? Like this in the pic?? Im curious how your gonna tuck it into the door seal or something?? Just curious as I have a wall build coming up and that seams like a good way to seal the sides

Go back and check out the other side's seal...thats how I plan on doing it lol. I attached it to the cars rubber seal with a silicone adhesive and then fiberglassed over to it to form the seal, like you discribed (i think, minus the tucking into the seal part)

hmm just glued the fiberglass right to the door seal... I would just be worried about the door sealing but you probly already made sure it cleared, thanks for answerring, Probly wont work in my situation though
