Default a horn to go with this or that...

Really digging the tapped horn idea.

in terms of extension to 20 hz can a small driver 8" go that low in a tapped horn?

heres the parameters:

would like 20hz

will trade some efficiency for extension

low cost driver <$100

can be a tall single fold horn to perhaps match tall fr blh that may be built as well.

current speaker, DM302 -6 at 59hz per: B&W DM302 loudspeaker Measurements | Stereophile.com

current amp 12x2 el84 tube integrated

stereo subs prefered

For extension to 20hz the path length needs to be long, so expect a much larger cabinet than you would for a 20hz BR cab.

Single folds are quick and easy to both simulate and build.

I'm sure bjorno will chime in with some data on the T-TQWP

Hi Etocynned,

Look through this thread, it shows about the maximum you can get out of 8" drivers:

Dual 8" tapped horn = TH-SPUD

Regards,
