[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 49413, member: 30"] Re: DIY Horn Why is "louder" better. If some freq is louder, but many others are quieter (due to the cancellation) is the better? It would not have a very flat response (due to the cancellation notches) but at some freq there would probably be some addition-but you can't use that addition-because it will be "louder" than the rest of the response-so you would have to eq it out.. But yes it might be louder-at some freq. Most people are interested in more than one freq when using a sound system. Also the horn loading and pattern control that the horn offers is pretty much completely gone- so the coverage would be all over the place (ie different at different freq) and you would only get partial lorn loading (which results in gain-louder etc). I am with Bennett-it may be a tad louder "maybe", but not for anything useful. When you get rid of the interactions between loudspeakers-things start to sound a lot better. But for some people it is not about sound quality-only sound quantity. So the rules of the game are different. [/QUOTE]
