Hi Freddy, ..
did you ever get to hear a karlson rocket? If so what were were your impressions ie. did the "rocket" help the low frequency / midbass response at all?

FWIW, .. this is what a K-rocket looks like

I'm considering building a rear K-slot on a line array project. I'm hoping that it will help with the bass.

    Thanks, .... Need to find a suitably long cardboard box to build a rough prototype.

  gave my pair away - to CN and Poppe. IIRC Karlson's Rocket had somthing like a 4" CTS speaker with ~165Hz resonance and very little power handling. Reat chamber was vented.

  the way I'm assembling this note - will have to look later at your 2nd link. I would think increased power handling might happen in coupled cavity cases.

  a good old asymmetric projector with tough speaker can make a lot of noise.

  CN's 5" new Rocket with coaxial and k-tube
