I have explored the subject of tapped horns. My exploration did not include listening them – ridicules, isn’t it? I did consult with a few folks, who I respect and who built and heard many of them and who know subject well. I pretty much know what I ...

This is the text that John posted a few years back at Triode Mafia. John allowed me to post it here warning that he have learned more about tapped horn since then and hat his opinion might have changed since then. -- *****************************...

It is not the thread to talk about Tapped Horn but listening to what you Tapped Horn users saying I do understand my suspicions about the concept. I can’t objectively judge sound from Tapped Horn as I did not hear any properly made, calibrated and in...

I have been doing some work with integration of tapped horns. I have discovered some interesting things that are not being discussed on any other forums. I’ll start at the beginning so a full picture will be clear. At first I placed the tapped ho...

I have received some questions and criticism about tapped horns. In order to spread a better understand of tapped horns, I’ll restate the questions and try to answer them.

It sucks – whoever builds horns too damn far! I need to see my congressmen to lobby lowering taxes for horn users of something like this….
Anyhow, the “erenechaos” comments about the “soft bass" is a good sign, though of course to equalize the...

In this blog there is information and links about the Danley’s new TH-SPUD tapped horn. http://hornloudspeakermagazine.blogspot.com/2009/08/tapped-lab-or-something-like-that.htmlIt is so “tapped” that it is painful to looks at it but they guys cl...

Hello Romy,The tapped horns were easy to construct so I made them while I was working on the midbass channel. I can't really comment on how good tapped horns are because I have never heard other 20-35hz capable systems... it does provide amazing SPL'...

[quote user="Rewind"]Macman: Maybe your tapped horns were too small. Speedysteve is absolutely in love with his, and you and him have a very similar setup with your 15" upper midbass horn and all.[/quote]Yes, Im sure you could make them better. I bel...

It goes quite flat to 20hz with the tapped horn. 20hz to 60hz with the tapped. It has 18db/octave Linkwitz-Riley, and then to dual Tad1601b, where you see the rising of the response around 74hz. I have tamed these bump some, but it needs a little mor...

Bass horn sub now fitted underneath, with false shelf added for the righ hand side mid bass horn.
The extra height is good....90cm to floor for tweeter, 110cm for the mid horn.
Just a nice BIG wall of sound...wit...

I come up with the idea to introduce 6th channel and add bass array in between tapped horn and upperbass horn. Benefits:1. I can use 1st order lowpass for Tapped Horn at 15-20Hz2. 30Hz+ range become time-aligned3. I don't need to go very low with upp...

I didn't comment because I don't have much to say. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt it will have a smaller volume than a sealed box....

Sitting here enjoying a Miller Genuine Draft (with slice of lemon!).
Today, spent a lazy 2 hours building the new 30Hz Tapped Horn sub. Oh so easy. All panels pre-cut by supplier...just drew them up, glued and clamped. Tomorrow I'l...

Guest napping now from 16 hrs jet lag, so I have a moment...Jorge, you raise an interesting point about THs. I may be incorrect in assuming THs sound worse as they play higher in freq. Perhaps instead the limitation is one of narrow bandwidth rathe...

Hi,I dont use my tapped horns any longer because of the annoying peaks above the usable frequency range. Some how they managed to excite a room node at 60Hz that none of the other bass solutions I have tried messed with. They also didnt have the outp...

Murat,
I am not qualified to talk credibly
about Tapped Horns. I know that they get a lot of traction now around audio
people but I am, without listening a good example of it, am not so warm to the Tapped
Horn idea. The comments of yours that y...

[quote user="Kcct82"]I didn't use John Hasquin's tapped horn design, I modeled my own in hornresp for my TAD woofer. I knew I would only need it up to ~55Hz so I was happy to have it flat from 23Hz-70Hz. The lowest crossover point for Behringer DCX 2...

Yes, tapped horns are lower efficiency, mine are 105 dB (not 108 - 110 dB like the rest of the system). I don't even KNOW that SET or Class A is automatically appropriate for tapped horns... Something like op amp driven PP in class AB might even wo...
