Oicu812 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Check these out. I wonder what the specs are... No mumps, but they have the hemispherical shaping similar to the classic "butt cheek" horns. I assume it's for greater coverage area? (Yeah, I know the woofers are direct radiators. I bet they still sound good, and provide some SPL.) https://www.ebay.com/itm/JBL-4645B-18-SUBWOOFER-2446H-DRIVER-2360T-2506B-2360A-HORN-one-of-each/203083390025 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Those look interesting, currently under $800. I'll bet they sound great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I have used that horn and tweeter before. The good news is that is a great driver (I currently have a pair for sale in the garage sale section), however the horn can sound a bit harsh. If you cross it above 800Hz or so, the harshness will be tamed somewhat. The horn is in the 2360 series and is actually bigger than how it looks in the photo. Of comparably sized horns, I would hold out for a Klipsch K-402 IMHO. -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my wife has stated that murder most foul will visit me in the night should I bring home *any* more speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiva Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Those horns never fail to impress whenever I see them. They often remind me of this scene from the movie "Mask." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
