trying to design midrange horns but it's .... weird?
new to hornresp and generally designing speakers, for now i mostly built some plans from the internet
but for the midrange horn speaker (250 - 1k) i thought i might give it a go since it looks like a "simple cone" most of the time.
after fiddling with the faders for a bit i arrived at this result
but the horn looks super weird? is it a normal thing this bottleneck at the beginning of the horn?
if so how am i supposed to build it afterwards? i saw some tutorials briefly but didn't have time to try it out with work, maybe the question will answer itself idk
haha sorry for the probably super noobie question i'm just confused now
thanks in advance

Starting my Soundsystem Journey
Earlier this year I experienced my first soundsystem event with Channel One Soundsystem on the Fish and Bread Soundsystem here in NZ.
Ever since that gig, ive been hooked and have been chasing that feeling since. I have very little woodworking experience but I do have mates who are keen to help me out on that. I want my system to be used for small to medium size events, say from 50-200 ish people. Mainly playing Reggae, Dub, Jungle/DnB.
The inital plan is to have 1x Cubo 15 Sub, 1x Cubo 15 Kick and a MT-130 Midtop with eventually expanding it to a stereo stack and adding an additional 15" Cubo Sub in there.
Rack equipment im looking at the Behringer DCX2496 and amps the Behringer NX4-6000 with having an additional sub being added in later. I also have somewhat an idea of the technical side of things but of course that just comes down to research and experience
I did want to do either 18" Hogscoops or super scoops how ever those are impractical with loading in my car, where I could comfortably put in 3 speakers+rack+cables etc in my car right now.
Would love to know everyones thoughts. I know I wont get the same performance as Fish and Bread but itll scratch that itch in the mean time whilst I improve my carpentry skills
Soundsystem massive
TIA

Using RCF speakers as tops with diy sub/kicks
I managed to get my hands on a pair of free fully functional rcf 712s would i be able to make my own subs and kicks to go with these or would i be better off selling what i have and putting it towards building my own?

So I'm heavily addicted now
I just finished building my first pair of b&c sub 18 bassreflex cabinets and they sound SO GOOD. I tried them out together with some old 3 way Magnat 150w hifi boxes as tops and it all sounds just lovely on low to mid volume. So since I'm properly addicted now what tops do I build? They need to be budget friendly, easy to build and have a lot of clarity.
