I just love the way this Carfrae looks!I have been tempted to make something similar, but turn it into a front loaded horn (of course),  say turn the driver around and add a back chamber on the back of it.  Make a nice volume tuning device.  And then...

In my experience even the most shitty system plays a certain recording very well,  whenever I go to listen to a playback the owner puts those special recordings that sound great on his system, (we all have heard them endlessly on shows).  I have a cl...

That is the thing exactly,  my upperbass solution has the same output amplitude as the compression drivers I am using, IMHO resistrors are the devil in xovers,  they kill all sound.  Now the difference between 109 db and 110 db can be overcome with c...

RomyI do not see the 2490 going any lower than 200 hz, I tested it in a 140 hz horn and in the 120 hz horn and in both tactrix horns the lowest it would go was 200 hz,  I think even if I put it a 100 hz horn it will still go down only to 200 hz, so I...

I wish I could stop the US government from selling AK47s in any corner shop in the US.  If you give a monkey a gun, most probably he will shoot himself. If you give a monkey an AK47,  well that is different. He will take anything he wants and few thi...
