dug Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Has anyone considered enclosing Khorns so the mouth of the horn is parallel (as opposed to perpendicular) to the bass' baffle? The benefit I can imagine is elongating the bass' horn, the disadvantage I can see is creating a larger, heavier unit. Thoughts please!

PrestonTom Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 search the forum. It has been done many times. Try "enclosed back" or "false corner" should get you started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dug Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 I don't think you understood my question, @PrestonTom. I'm talking about enclosing the backs not as per the current models, but by extending the horn so it is flush or parallel with the bass cabinet's baffle - not perpendicular. Making the bass cabinet a triangle, in other words.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 K Horns have a void on each side to complete the triangle. I have some cabs that have this removed. I have considered following the sides without extending the triangle when I build these. Roy had stated when developing the Jubilee that when he brought the sides in from the wall, they went up higher. I am sure that there is a lot more to it than that and I hope that I am stating the correctly. The problem will be that they likely still need to be corner loaded to dig deed, in which case they should follow the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundbound Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I redid them. They look like this now. Back to a stock format. g Here’s the link below you can click on for details of them: * I think they’re best in their stock format in corners. * 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
