Hey, the lab sub plans are missing from the documentation page (the links are all broken), does anyone have a backup copy? I can’t seem to find them anywhere else on the internet either. I am now financially able to commit to making a stack (After years of wanting to), so I’m somewhat frustrated that I can’t find the plans.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Arjun,

The LAB horn is difficult  to build, and the performance of the LAB 12 driver is rather limited compared to what is available presently.
Using 18" drivers with more Xmax (excursion) Bl (motor strength)  and power handling allows for 6dB or more output in the same footprint.

If you like FLH (Front Loaded Horn) cabinets, the design below using BC 18SW115 drivers may be a better, as in louder, cleaner and more simple to build choice, the same size (45"x45"x22.5") as the LABhorn.

Only one side is illustrated, the other is symmetrical. Center mouth bracing should be added as shown in red, didn't get the sizes down when originally drawn about 6 years ago.

Hi Ari, Arun,
I'm surprised the admin staff hasn't fixed the content link-kinks yet....
but what the heck nowadays ?

Anyway, i searched my computer for old design files and struck out...but i have some old hardcopy prints of original plans.
If admins fail to come thru, i'll figure out how to post them.

As you will see in my next post, i still think it's an awesome sub

Hi Art, i oh so agree the labhorn is difficult to build.
But i truly think from comparing the labhorns with other great subs,
that the marriage of a driver specifically mated with a box design, works.
Have yet to find so much output from equivalent size box and wattage in to it.
Labhorns truly rock imo, just keep a low pass on them at 90-95Hz or below, to avoid thermal problems.

Possible alternative for you, that has even more extension than the LAB Sub and can be built in 2 smaller more portable cabs.

Good find!

I'm posting them here too, sorry about the quality, (can't post the pdf format) but at least they are back on the LAB :^)

Thanks, Art.  I tried the doc links a few weeks ago, reported to Mods, and found nothing had been done.  Apparently the links have been broken for longer than Covid has been in the USA and for whatever reasons, Ernie is not allowed or able to fix this.
