Folded horn speakers?
« on: 23 Oct 2008, 11:28 am »
Where can I find (in detail) how to build these?  Ive done a web search and havent came up with very little. Do you know of any books or websites that have this info?

Do you want info on the theory and how to calculate things yourself, or a kit?

Madisound sells a kit using Fostex drivers - http://www.madisound.com/catalog/index.php?manufacturers_id=131&sort=3a&filter_id=158

Is this for main speakers or subwoofers?

If you have the drivers already, knowing which ones they are would help in finding designs if they're already out there :)

I dont have any drivers. These are going to be main speakers. Im looking for theory and how to calculate things to build my own horns.  I like the looks of the Klipsch la scalas and klipchorns.  That style of horns that Im interested in. Just on a smaller scale of course.

There's also the BIB...an extremely easy-to-build folded horn: http://www.zillaspeak.com/bib.asp

And all the designs on frugel-horn.com...

And if theory is what you want, there's always Martin J. King's site:

The horn theory section:

Folded horns like Klipsch's are really complicated to build and simulate.
