Like the sound of a horn-loaded CD with a pro woofer?

I just wanted to make sure that DIY'ers here are aware of this thread. It's quite a long one with a lot of numbers and graphs thrown in, but it still has enough gravy for the layperson to understand the objectives of the project. In summary, this was a collaborative effort for designing and manufacturing a 'hi-fi'-friendly horn and a matching compression driver. The delivery of the horns and the drivers to the end-users have just begun, I think. Also, a bunch of top speaker designers, including Mark Seaton and Jeff Bagby, are working on different projects using this horn/CD combo which would be made available soon.

Any DIY'er looking for a dynamic and life-like music reproduction and do not mind speakers with (slightly) healthy proportions should book-mark this thread!

Another designer working on projects using the SEOS/DNA combo is Dennis Murphy...

You bet I do, mate.
Me so very horny!
Wave guides and/or horns have been used to great (satisfying) DIY effect by the likes of gainphile, gedlee, redspade and inlowsound, amongst anothers. Have a look-see here.

Horns are a different world, I guess.
Right from the smallest "peepni" to the largest tubas, so many musical instruments incl the shehnai, bugle, trumpet, sax, trombone etc are all based on the same principle, after all.

Nice thread here, lets all take this further, eh, Grubyhalo !?

Cheerio

I'm just about to start work on a Lil Mike Tapped horn sub using the 7 inch Exodus driver.

FMJ! LOL!

That should be very nice, are you considering making just one or more?

Making one only for fun. Have too many subs at home as it is!!

Cool. Quite a nice problem to have!

I need to figure out which plate amp to match to this, though. All mine currently are powerful ones mated to 12 inch drivers. This needs something much smaller.

How about this one? You can change the high-pass from 20 to 25 Hz quite easily and can run 2 subs with it.

Dayton Audio SPA250 250 Watt Subwoofer Amplifier 300-803

With it's low output, running 2 of these would be quite the ticket. And, they are not too big to raise the eye-brows of significant others, I'd think...

This one at half the price looks a better option for me:
