Post Subject: The (W)hole of the HornPosted by Paul S on: 7/29/2008
Jessie, I can say without knowing anything about LF horns that those I have heard were indeed ineptly implemented. And I would die the Death of 1,000 Cuts before I said 1 word about my own pathetic efforts in that direction.
Sorry, I thought you had said you were going for 45 Hz, so I am relieved to hear you are OK with 90 Hz loud (and whatever happens below that...) because, IMO, "LF Horns" are a Truly Weird MYstery From the Other Side (Where There Is No Peace). I wonder if anyone ever high-passed one of these (just to be safe)?
Yes, the whole horn resonating is certainly one more thing to think about at lower frequencies. Among other Probable Causes, perhaps some people (no names...) did not seriously attend to their Mass/Frequency/Resonance homework. Probably safe to double the resultant number, ie., HEAVY, Dude.
Best regards,
