In the Thread: Andrew's new 4-way horn using Stereolabs stone horns and DIY bass

Post Subject: "Wall Horn" for 25Hz to 100HzPosted by atilsley169 on: 6/6/2012

Here's a pic (link) of my listening position.

When I built my large Bill Fitzmaurice bass horn...I had thought about placing it in that space above the speakers, firing into the corner. I may still do that...but the sub is serving duties in the separate HT room.

So, I may design a new large bass horn, using a single driver, with the horn firing down towards the left corner.

A mate did a quick sim for me on a 6.2 meter ( 21 feet) horn with mouth size of 11,025cm (45cm deep by 245cm wide, [96 inches wide x 18 inches deep for your imperials). The sim didn't look nice at all...very ragged.

But, there must be something 'fun' I can do to fill that void...and get a smooth response from 25Hz to 100...?

What about two tapped horns...on top of each other with horn openings oposing...?

Alternatively, a single(?) LF channel comprising, say, 8 x 12 or 15 inch woofers in a sealed panel/cabinet...?

However, I wouldn't mind ideas on drawing up a horn I could build.

Thoughts?
