Horns

What would be the general consensus on this forum as far as Horn Designs for subs.I'm new to this forum and there seems to be a lot to digest here,but i get the feeling no one has heard what horns can do in the listening environment.The designs here are great but costly,to me.I used to spend a lot of money on quality speakers and still do for my tops.I see a thread about $25 12s for sale and it gets a lot of hits,but i would put my 8 inch sub up against 4 of those 12s with less power and smoke em,lower,louder,deeper and with more impact than you probably ever felt.I dont think that horns get the respect.HORNS RULE!

The box size would be 18 by 18 by19 with an 8 inch speaker and was modeled for corner reinforcement,which in turn adds to the throat length.The sub amp used has a 6 db bass boost in the 30 hertz range and a 4th order low pass filter.This is one tight sub and during movies can play effortlessly with low distortion and great detail.Music on the other hand is tuneful and clean at any volume.This speaker will have you getting out your favorite music and movies to hear what you have been missing all along.The impact alone will drop your jaw.I will get some pictures up soon to show you how they were constructed.ENJOY THE MUSIC AND MOVIES.

I'm using the PE #300-805 and it has way too much power for this speaker,you could get away with a cheap 50 watt amp as long as reliability is not an issue.The other day i had nothing better to do so i built a box that would hold 2 8s and so far i like what i hear.These boxes are not small by any means,but thats the nature of folded horns.I'm not an expert on horns ,but listen to other builders and try to go from there.Go ahead and build a horn,there cheap for the price to performance ratio.
