edmjm Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 hey mark that's a good point & along that thinking wouldn't the internal volume also be changed by the fastrac cornwall horn because it's bigger than the stock horn? I wondr if ALK can adjust for that with the crossover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree totally. That's why I screwed an additional same-size piece of 3/4" birch ply to the outside of the access panel on my CW's. It cut the vibration from the internal pressures on that panel to near nothing and gave em' a bit more bass slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would surely install that horn and get some proven significant improvement before I would ever add internal bracing. External bracing.........there you go. The backs of my cornwalls are so fatigued I can always feel them vibrate when the volume is up. That's life with 1973 cornwalls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
