Tapped Horn for Bass?

Has any board member heard a tapped horn used for LF with A7s?.

Marshall.

Not with A7s but a pal is using a tapped horn with an Eminence Lab 12 driver in his DIY horn system. The tapped horn does an excellent job; makes deep strong bass and has excellent dynamics and keeps up with the horns above.

I have a Lab 12 driver myself and have been thinking about building a tapped horn but I'm so lazy.

Here's my pal's rig. The tapped horn is the bench like enclosure under the window.

I have never heard of a tapped horn, but I did a quick Google and came up with:

My knowledge of tapped horns would fit in a thimble, but I know a guy that's well versed in them...

Rather than commit him, I'll just point out a couple of threads on the DIYAudio forum he's participated in;

Get comfy before diving in, the first thread alone is over 2,000 posts and growing... http://www.hostboard.com/forums/

Obviously, I don't either, I just keep my foot in it till I hear the sirens. http://www.hostboard.com/forums/

Thanks bfish, I was going to post those links but I didn't know about forum protocol and linking to another site. Those threads are involved but good personnel and good reading.

Thanks Marshall,

I had a feeling it was OK but I thought it a bit presumptuous with my connection to the site. I try not to openly promote it on other sites.
