Hey Wayne. Thanks for the info. I read in the JBL documentation file as well that these horns should be stacked on top of each other. Should they be turned upright though? Or just leave them the same position as normal but have more of them on top of each other. I dont understand how this can lower the freq where vertical dispersion is controlled, I would think it just gives wider vertical dispersion?I think it was you before in another post mentioned something that 2" compression drivers should be used to do up to 20KHz. Is this true? I would like to go for a 2", but if 1" is better....
Oh yea, would you reccomend ANY radial horn? (assuming its the right size) or is JBL for example a lot better than others? (I'm thinking of some P Audio horns, but they dont state weather they are radial, conical etc. How can you tell if a horn is a radial one?).
Have you used or heard wood horns before? If so, what do ya think of them? Do they sound "nicer", or in particular, have less of a ringing, horn sound to them?
If I do decide to build a horn myself, where can I buy the flange that the horn mounts to? (one that takes bolts, not screw on driver). Cant find them anywhere!
Thanks again for any help! Alex :)
