I'm looking at doing a Nautilus-style tubular enclosure. Some pictures...

If the prog can do such a shape, the dims are, in mm...

length - 400
dia large - 180
dia small - 40

The volume of the cab as drawn is 2.85 litres, which is too small for
extending the bass - KEF say 4L for a midrange box, 5-10 for bass/mid. So,
I'm wondering what could be acheived by keeping the narrow end of the pipe
open, like a sort of transmission line with some damping due to the rear
opening having a small area.
