Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

I am adding to what Romy just posted for me. See the below for more information about tapped horns.

So, what does a tapped horn look like? There are several ways to fold, but I chose this method because it was simple and easy to construct. It also blends more with today’s modern tall skinny speaker look.

There are no braces in the above picture. The below picture is the same horn with a brace that runs the full length of the horn. This was just enough bracing for the horn.

Below I’m putting the woofer in through the access panel. I like the way this tapped horn turned out because the woofer is hidden from sight, and the access panel is in the back.

Here are the input parameters for the horn in David McBean’s Hornresp program.

And the predicted response

The frequency peaks above 165Hz are not there in real life. The horn’s folding could be filtering some of it out, or Hornresp is doing some squirrelly computations that don’t exist.

More later
