In Reply to: Hornresp 1st pass - comments/critiques welcome. 40hz "L" horn posted by Oldbean2 on December 30, 2023 at 14:12:05:
I know you're looking at a bass horn, but it's difficult to get low bass without a long horn. My EdgarHorns drop like a rock at 80hz. Personally, I haven't liked folded horns as to me, they don't have the impact in the same way as a direct driver.
Another idea is doing a hybrid like the Altec VOTT A7 cabinet. It can get down as low as 40hz and easily around 50hz. It's also much smaller and can be more easily positioned in the room.
