Have anyone tried this? A floor - sidewall "horn" sub

[Defo]

Have anyone tried to "horn" load a sub as illustrated below, using the floor and wall? Not as a normal corner horn, but only the floor and sidewall as implemented below. Just an idea

[LineArray]

Assuming free space (ski lift conditions) adding the
first wall behind the speaker will give you 6db gain
in sound pressure.

The next wall making up a 90 degree edge will give
you another 6db ...

Positioning in an edge - but not in corners - with
radiation axis parallel to the edge is a nice thing
to improve sound pressure from a dipole subwoofer.

A monopole can even be placed in a corner.

But in a real room things look different due to
excitation of room modes.

Nevertheless, there is nothing wrong with the
idea and a position in an edge of the room
can be tried for a subwoofer.

Kind Regards

Martion does this with the bass section of his Orgon horn system when he has no corner available.

Should in many cases be no difference in case of
a subwoofer, if you find a good place in a bottom
edge you may find one under a ceiling edge as well.

And the sub gets "out of your feet" and saves place.

In fact you may have often more space for variation
of the position under the ceiling.

It's basically called a Klipsch Corner Horn...

The problem, if there is going to be one is that it is very very very room dependent. In some rooms the Klipsch sounds wonderful, in others, no bass at all.

Ymmv.
