In Reply to: The folded horn in my Edgar Horns uses a 12 inch JBL musical instrument driver... posted by Ivan303 on September 11, 2016 at 15:23:29:
There was a version without the metal dust cap.
Mine were definitely not re-coned - though my cabinets were unfinished - not one he sold as RETAIL - maybe the folks who bought them READY TO GO got re-coned drivers.
I think this box is Romy Besnow's favorite of Edgar's sub 500 hz horns.
My room seemed to be a little too big for them. The giant straight horn I replaced them with went in the other direction. I do remember liking the character of the JBL 12 better than the EV. I got off-track when I brought up the EV before. I knew which driver you had but was trying to write/think quicker than I am actually able! Sorry for the confusion.
I spent many hours massaging those boxes. I smoothed all of the corners - coated the inside and out with many coats of shellac. I installed slots on both sides for sand damping. Whether any of that made them sound any better I have no idea but I HAD to do it!
They are good sounding.
You should consider getting the TRUEXTENT diaphragms. They were a big improvement. And the FANEs are just a stop gap. You might find you do not WANT them if you try the TRUEXTENTs. I am using the FOSTEX T500s but wonder how important they really are. One of those things where you just like knowing they are there.
Do try out REW - it is free though you will have to get a decent mixer and a microphone but it can tell you lots of interesting things.
