I have built quite a few bass horns and found any thing over 1/2 inch ply wood reinforced is all you need, in front of your baffle. If you had ever built a few on your own and had the right equipment to test you would realize this, but when your a hasbeen you just try to overbuild thanking there is some sonic improvment. You should of let us horn pro's design and build it for you and you wood had the best then, instead of paying some carpenter with no horn building background off of some scibble you had on paper. Audio Geeks do this because they have been jerking off to high fidelity magazine's for to many years. Instead of looking at picture's you should try building something yourself, then when you talk about the subject you at least will have some credibility. A real jew would of built it themself to save the money on the labor. 3/4 plywood is all you need.  Preaching Horn Religion  MSAUDIO

MSaudio, before I did not build and did not managed projects to build midbass horns. This is my first 43Hz horn and I hope the last one - I do not do it for fun of building but because I know how to use it and intend to do so. Ironically what I do, would it be electronics or anything with acoustic system, is well exposed at my site: in pictures, explanations and in honest analyses of result. In contrary you claim that you “has built quite a few bass horns” but any my request to tell about them ended up with from idiotic accusation of me in homosexuality to absolutely ignorant claims about the use overly low resonance frequency in horns. I do not know who are you but I think that you are a fake. I quite know ALL capable horn builders in US and I do talk with many of them, consulting with them and compare notes about my project. I do not know you and I have a feeling that you do not exist. You most like another audio fool who do not understand what is going on at this site and decided to invent MSAUDIO - Preaching Horn Religion Character -  a full of parochial fears son of bitch with a complex of US’ Midwest pomposity.  Unfortunately, whoever you are, you are a bit overplaying and your functional MSaudio character looks more like a cardboard situate…

Back to the subject of skin thickness for midbass horn. I do not think that 1/2 inch plywood is enough for 43Hz horn. I heard a number of midbass horns with thin skin and I like none of them. I am sure that the thickness of the skin was NOT ONLY the factor. I heard only one midbass horn that I did like. Incidentally it was 50 Hz horns made from two layers of 1” wood, separated with 1 inch of sea sand. Unfortunately I will not be able to put THAT type of constriction to my attic.

Anyhow, I do appreciate your intention to be useful but be advised that the credibility and familiarity with specifics your have expressed might make me very soon just to ignore your posts. I do it with some other posters at this site; you are in the very near list.
