This is the first time I've seen dual throat cast horns....... would they be Vitavox? The ribs remind me of Emilar.

Cerwin Vega?
The ribs do speak Emilar to a degree, but with Renkus' heritage and what i'm familiar with from his designs they'd have to accept bolt on drivers.
The threaded throats gotta be a clue.
Anxious to see if OG puts a name to them.
Cerwin Vega, and frankly a step above junk. CV bought Heppner's assets, the Heppner drivers didn't handle much power, so just use two. These don't have an accurate horn flare and beam. 511 is 10x better horn. CV made these horns in about 4 versions, most had single throats, early ones had dividers like Altec. they went to a single divider then none.
Here's an early one in a Kustom cabinet.

Here's a link to a thread with some CV catalog pics: fan of Cerwin Vega here ??? - AudioKarma.org Home Audio Stereo Discussion Forums
I see a pair of cabinets there with those dual driver horns in them.
Gotta love that Bolt-a-cell

Well that's too bad, they're pretty neat looking, but I'd want them to work well, too......... not that I'd be paying what that auction is listed for.Quote:

Heaven forbid, someone took the time to chuck them up in the Bridgeport(4 X) to ruin them with great precision? :confused:
They wouldn't fit in the cabinets ! :tongue2:
Sad to see those EH500s chopped up like that / they are a well designed , solidily built, radial horn .
I use a pair with my 288-8Ks ( with 1.4 to 2" adapter ).
Think of them as an 811E ( without the vanes in the bell ) .
They work really great as a 800hz horn for home HiFi duties ( especially when used with a high compliance driver like the 288 that sports an Fs well below the Fc of the horn ).
:)
Yup it's beyond me why someone would even consider it in the first place.I would first try to find a smaller horn to fit the purpose then to take a band saw to them.Quote:
