Dampening in Tapped Horns?? - Page 2

Moondog55 · 8th June 2009, 08:34 AM

So 4.4M 1/4 wave length/ isn't that an 18 hertz pipe??

atilsley · 8th June 2009, 10:02 AM

Yep.

I think I'll rebuild the horn, into two smaller units...aiming for 30Hz+

I think the big horn is better suited to home theatre apps.

Which driver were / are you using??

plus the Jaycar 600-watt plate amp.

Good job atilsley,
Welcome to the club. With a 4.5 meter horn you should be reaching some notes that will shake the house! It's fun to
use an audio editing program (I use GoldWave), to find material to test your TH.

William Cowan has done several good designs, and I have folded a few that have worked well. Also, check Volvotreeter's website
(if you haven't already). I've heard that Halloween is catching on down under! Your horn would be an interesting novelty with
the right sound files.

Here's one of my favorites. William has built single fold versions using a Peerless and a Jaycar:

Hello Andrew!

I just went to your website and realized who you were. I guess I'm a little slow on the uptake.

I just helped LayerTone build a 5.5 meter TH using the Lab12 driver. He tested it out by trying to disassemble his garage with
audio. If you missed his post, see:

Will this 30hz horn work with the FAITAL PRO 12HP1020? I would be willing to build one this week for live sound use, maybe a dual driver would be better for live use? thanks sorry for the derail

The Beyma works better in this box (it's the light trace).

Hi Andrew,

Any pics or plans? What does your TH look like?
