I was thinking there may be a way to get a woofer (or subwoofer) to be a horn loaded unit that covers 50 Hz - 200 Hz in place of the SUB225 in the Avantgarde Duos, as a DIY effort. Wouldn't this help pick the speed of this range of frequencies instead of the sealed box speakers used? And is there any way to build one that can fit somehow in the space where the SUB225 goes. Dimensions need to be about 12" wide by 28" high by 36" deep. And it can't be a corner horn. Efficiency wouldn't matter too much, it can be powered by high powered SS for this range, but it should be able to reach 110 dB at least. The idea is to increase 0-100 dB speed, not efficiency, and make that bass horn slam. Any ideas how to do it? I never built a horn in my life.

Yup. Anybody remember Dick Burwen's system in AUDIO, with the walk-in horns? (nt), posted on April 5, 2000 at 20:53:51 | |

Very clean, and no doubt dynamic. |
