Post Subject: Tapped Horn NoobPosted by Kcct82 on: 4/29/2009

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's and to my dad and I, the sound is good. I do not understand what you mean by "soft" bass but like Serenechaos have said, it does not "stick out".

There's another thing perhaps due to tapped horn positioning, my previous -10db at 40hz, +11db at 51hz, and -10db at 60hz are now much less severe.

Honestly the tapped horns are the least of my problems right now... like you have pointed out, the electronics is a mess, placement for the 3 upper horns is another issue, crossover points and tractrix horn building...

Best Regards,
Keith
