$325 Lab 12 based PA tapped horn ~ 35Hz extension

What about the usable bandwidth and intensity of the 1/4 wave resonances that pollute the top of the ‘band pass’ affect making the name or typing ‘bp6s‘ over and over almost pointless ?

why does the tapered shape make such a clean/smooth easy to manage bandwidth and the expanding path shape leaves you with a very abbreviated bandwith and intense 1/4 wave resonances up top that are hard to deal with?

Here’s some really good info from Bjorn Kolbreks book on horns, etc (interesting how Bl boogers up the shape of the response at various freqs)
I wouldn't BUILD an enclosure with a dip in the LISTENING response like that.

Where are the aeronautical engineers???
goofy Voight Pipe with driver offset position canceling out the 57.6 hz resonace
