rear loaded horn enclosures

[innovative audio]

recently started too gain interest in this type of enclosure, tried googling it to learn its concepts, anyone has any readup about it and how to build it

Download a software called "hornresp". Learn to use it and design your horn. You can come up with innovative ways of folding it.

You have to use hornresp to model it. What I see commonly being called read loaded horns for bass fall more in the garden of a ported box, because the actual horn length for sub bass would be pretty long and would be impractical for vehicle use, unless you`re using no bigger than an 8 inch sub.

I built 2 25hz Tapped horns using a 6.5 driver each, the enclosure dimensions for each box is abt 30inches x 23inches x 7.5 inches. Rear loaded horns wont be that far off in dimension.

If you want plans for a tapped horn using a 10 inch driver that plays relatively flat between 30 and 80 hz I can link you.

this is what a rear loaded horn looks like...


and this is basically what the inside looks like....


now that is a basic plan for a 15" sub, varying horn length,width,area etc will vary the response and also the output of the subwoofer. Hornresp helps alot with this.

Rear-loaded horns, transmission lines and vented alignments are all cousins, and you can actually come up with a design that sits somewhere within that range. Become a HornResp expert and all shall be revealed .
