Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

But but but

" What I and the world needs is a good 10-12" LF driver designed for horns."

Is too vague to approach scientifically. Even if dealing with a "perfect horn", the issue is one needs to know the low and high cutoff at a minimum and realistically some other data too before one can figure out what the ideal driver for that horn looks like.

If you want to find the ideal driver for a given horn and bandwidth or the ideal horn parameters for a given driver and bandwidth, study this paper.

Then, since what people usually build are horns that are not ideal, then model what your considering in Akabak or horn resp which appears to be good. With akabak one can model nearly anything one can dream of as parsed into something like a pspice like model and it's easy to change the driver or horn values.
Essentially all of the Synergy horn and Tapped horn products at work were designed using it and it's free!
Best,
