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 ...

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...

Well, be afraid to get what you wish people say and it is exactly what happens in this thread: last week I expressed curiosity about the tapped horns and today I have more information about them than I wished. I appreciate John, Robert, Tom and ...

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...

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'...

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.

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...

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....

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...

Here are some real world measurements made at the 2007 NYC sub shoot out. The distortion numbers and characteristics should help us understand the difference between tapped horn distortion and conventional front loaded horn distortion.

Above I was discussing the new integration process I used to mate the tapped horns with the rest of the system. Below is a graphic to help explain the listening arc. I just moved the tapped horns along an equal-distant arc until the phasing of th...

Sarurntube, I am quite curious about the mysterious tapped horns these days. What are the physical dimensions and power requirements of your tapped horns? Are they 1/4 or 1/8 wave horns? Do you use a FR amp or a sub-only amp to drive them? Do you...

RobertAren't those meant to be driven by 250W SS amps ? Did you chose driver for your midbass already ? I thought that for this range 8" Lowther DX series with its 50Hz Fs and its "lean" sound could compliment your GOTO drivers (16 Ohm version has 3m...
