The 12π basshorn subwoofer reached 138dB/M maximum output at 1600 watts RMS. We ran it up higher, but little additional output was generated. Up to 1600 watts, compression was negligible, with 2x power increases resulting in the expected 3dB SPL increases.

Measured response largely agrees with the computer model prediction. Compare the modeled response for one horn to the measured response of the prototype:

Computer model of single 12π basshorn response 2.83v/M floorstanding in open space

Measured response of single 12π basshorn response 2.83v/M floorstanding in open space

The accuracy of the model makes me comfortable that its prediction of a group of four horns is also accurate.

Computer model of four 12π basshorns response 2.83v/M floorstanding in open space
