  which I agree with. I tap my horns with the head of a screwdriver. If it rings like a bell, I caulk it till it don't. Doesn't take all that much, and I don't overdo it.
  
  Of course, I have the horn out, not bolted to the speaker then. So the extra mechanical contact should make it even more rigid, and ring a bit less.
  
  Just my opinion, mind you.
  
  
  The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

  But what else is reaching the motor and horn, from the bass?

    "But what else is reaching the motor and horn, from the bass?"
    
    Good question and a possibility perhaps best ignored. ;-)
