HHR Ed Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 @HHR Ed i was referring to Pete owner of PWK Designs/Acoustic Engineer and all that other stuff lol @forevrbumpin so he's just practically selling a name? and they're not real horn enclosures? OK, I never heard of him, but I google searched and saw his website. looks like most of his boxes are simply ported boxes with Transmission line horn ports. What is a horn, there are a few different types. The type most are actually referring to when they say in theory it should be the loudest and most efficient design is the exponential horn. Which is like the picture above. Kind of like a large megaphone for subs. The horn size and rate of flare has to match the frequencies desired, and the lower the frequency, the larger the horn. A 20hz wave is 56 ft long.

korey_hofer Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 pete does not design horns, he uses horn theory for his ported boxes but they are not true horns Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

pheint_1 Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) so if i understand correctly there's no way that dude could build an actual horn enclosure in an automobile wether it be tapped, rear loaded or front loaded correct? they're just variations? also not trying to bash on the guy (not insulting him nor his intelligence) but why call them bass reflex and not ported, seems to me he's trying to sell names.

Everyone sells on names in some manor. Bass reflex is an actual technical term for a ported box.

korey_hofer Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 he likes using big technical names lol I have one of his designs for a 12" mtx9500 it works well even though specs say it shouldn't as a regular ported box Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

Boon Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 My little tapped horn worked pretty damn impressively, despite me building it all wrong. They're the only horn I could find that looks like it would work OK in a car. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
