Looking for horn expert to help with the build.
in DIY
Hey guys. Most of you have seen my main system at some point. It towers behind on all NY/NJ DIY get togethers. 
I've had it for a few years and it's been going through one transformation in to another. Currently, it is a 3-way active DSP. After listening to a few humongous horn systems I formed an opinion that while top end and mid-range of the horns are not exactly to my liking. The bass is generally most life like. So, I would like to replace 8ft^3 ported boxes with a large J horn.
Main line array which consists of JX-92 drivers can play full range or can be filtered not to go below set frequency. I am thinking that the horn should cover 40hz to 200hz. The ceiling in my space is 16ft so there's room to go, however I am not looking to build a dedicated horn subwoofer, rather just a bass horn for a 3 way system.
I can 3-D model, CNC the parts and open to a joint build where I can cut you parts as well.
My horn design skills are limited to a very basic knowledge.

There's a steep learning curve, but after reading a tutorial or two, it's nothing you couldn't learn. Just have someone at DIYA go over your work when done.
What do you want to build? 15 inch pro woofers give a bunch of options. I've go a taped horn fold I did for Craig S for the Lab 12 and another one for the Eminence 15LFA.

I did a Lab12. The Lab15 4 ohm sounds interesting, It doesn't look like I've modeled that. Can either of you post the specs?
