Hi Romy, I have a DIY 8ft tapped horn taking up about 16" x 16" of floor space. From my experience it might be too short to go flat down to 20hz, you can make it "longer" by folding it more than once but it'll most likely end up bigger than 12" x 12". Secondly, a 12" x 12" tapped horn means you can only use a 10 inch driver. I don't know how that'll restrict your final outcome but I thought it was worth mentioning. Lastly, I'm able to get around 90-95db efficiency down to 23hz in my tapped horns but I like driving them with 300w SS amps for the more controlled bass performance. Best, Keith
