wife-said-no Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Anyone ever try this. I think that it might be a cool design and am a little curious about the SQ and the SPL http://www.decware.com/whorn.htm ------------------ Come on honey why can't I spend some more money?

Gnomore Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 Those are interesting. I wonder how they sound? Would definately be a conversation piece coffee table! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted July 14, 2001 Share Posted July 14, 2001 I've seen that picture before. Now that I know more, I wonder if the horn is long enough to be a real subwoofer. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htxpert Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 Hi All a few years ago I obtained the "House Wrecker" subwoofer plans from Decware.I spent a weekend building the enclosure out of 1"MDF and used 2 JL-15-W6 subs installed in the enclosure I could never get it to sound quite right I had plenty of SPL but the lower octaves sounded a little Tubby.after numberus attempts of correcting this it finally ended up in the wood pile I ended up building 2 ea 3^ft enclosures and installed the JL's in them.I still use them in my Living room system and I am very pleased with the way they turned out.I used Box Plot ver 3.0 to calculate the internal volume and port size and length. Moral of the story is somethimes its better to be Square than Exotic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEAR Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 HTxpert the JL Audio bass drivers dont give hreat results in this type of "box".Most JL Audio bass drivers must be cut very low to give good resulta and need BIG amp power and good damping. I did build several subs from plans found on the net and the choice of driver is even more critical in this type of horn loaded design. Its better to build a simple ported or sealed box.Often the results will be better and less work is involved. The best sounding subs I heard are sealed(could use passive radiators)or ported.
