HBL 8" BABY SCOOP

I decided to open up the box with a crowbar and hammer to make the required changes for it to have more control low down in the 30hz to 50hz.

The mk 2 seems to play a lot better down low and i feel it was certainly worth the hassle of taking it apart.

Heres a video which shows the cone moving. The mk 1 would flap like mad but this one seems to handle the music with minimal flapping.

I will try to test it more throughly in a week or two

Another positive with the mk 2 is that there is a lot more output coming from the horn.

I think im happy with the design now to make a batch!

looking good... smiley20

nice little scoop! been thinking about doing something like this for years.. was the scoop designed around the rel drivers Theil parameters?

Hi HBL any news on progress with this?

Starting to think about doing something with my RELs - how is this coming along?

Any measurements? How does it compare with the same driver in its intended sealed box?

any more updates on these little scoops

I made a pair of little scoops very similar with 10"s. Scaled it down from the eminence scoop plans, but I modified a few things that in hindsight were probably better left alone. See my avatar. It works pretty well in its range, which was decent for a kick. Cuts off at about 62Hz and goes pretty well up to 230hz. Couple of resonating bumps at 90hz and 150 hz but easily fixed with a little subtractive eq. Above 230 hz it gets freq resp is kinda messy. Definitely not a sub, but was a fun project. Would be particularly useful if I had 4, alas... don't love it enough to make more. Mostly it was an experiment to see if I could pull off the folded build.
