But my itch to experiment wasn’t satisfied. So when a marketplace ad for Peavey FH-1’s with their woofers installed came up 30 minutes from me, I messaged the seller 15 minutes after he posted them and had them in my Jeep within the hour! All for the total cost of $140!
Suddenly, I had an inexpensive (if not free once I sell the black widow woofers) opportunity to test my folded horn theory.
using some insulation strips on the lip, some polyfil, new wiring, and some nice rubber feet, I had my first ever completely horn-loaded speaker.
After some simple time aligning the HF section and getting rid of the “foot” angling the speakers up to bring the HF section lower (not shown) - these things sound INCREDIBLE.
So now, I think I have my bones and guts worked out. Now it’s just a matter of putting it all together in a better looking shell.
