Probably gonna want to be more specific than that... What exactly are you looking for? construction help, deciding on the correct profile, driver selection ect...

On the long therm i want to learn all that there is to know about horns

. Love them.

I will concentrate more on building horn for on the short therm.

I have a small Diy SET. SET's go well with full range drivers so i'm thinking about building a frond and rear loaded horn. The front horn will be more like a wave guide actually.
I have no clue how to do this yet. Size is a big problem also(i'm a student).

Any papers about horn's will do anyway.

In the future i think i will build a horn system having a SET on the mid-high part and a classD amp for low/sub(tube pre).

Very elegant. Are they heavy enougg to prevent resonance so you suppose.
I guess 12 layers and glue...

Friends of mine who listen to these paper horns are generally astounded (the women often weep during emotional song passages). I've been told by a vocalist in a band that my paper horns sound 'organic' vs. the off color of standard off-the-shelf pro audio horns.

I'm happy to help anyone who wishes to fabricate a pair.
