Hi,
I have an original wicked one with Peerless CSCX woofers. It is not a horn. The sensitivity is not any higher than what you'd achieve with two woofers in regular boxes which pretty much negates any benefits to using a horn. It's just a fancy bandpass box. I also find his hyping using different woofers as seriously misleading. A design should really be optimized around a specific driver. Anyways, you can see the nearfield response of my sub at the link below. If you point it into a corner, it gets down to about 28hz ~ 25hz. I don't think the newer version is much different. In my opinion, there are much better designs out there that are much easier to build.
