Hi John,This is something that just blows my mind, how a driver can put out 108dbs 1w/1m (30Hz), and that is it, any more power and it exceeds xmax. Is this because the horn is exciting the driver so much to attain this efficiency that this is what happens? (That is the best I can put this into words)
If a horn is a broadband resonator, then it would make sense that the speaker would start a resonance, then the horn would feed the driver. Since speakers are vibrating devises, in a sense the horn would make the speaker more compliant at certain frequencies. Most drivers if you find a way of increasing its compliance (replacing the spider or surround with a more compliant material) then this lowers its Fs, so it seems this is what a horn is doing as well. Not so much changing the Fs but lowering it bass extention by allowing it to react with the horn more, thus producing lower tones.
Am I on the right track or am I still not getting it?
