Hi everyone.. I'm in the middle of building a set of La Scala clones and am fighting with myself over an issue dealing with the mid horn. I'm building a wooden tractrix horn instead of using stock horns. I've purchased a pair of A-55G mid drivers from Bob Crites, which have a 1-3/8 threaded throat.
I'd like to build my horns with a 2" throat for possible upgrades to a 2" driver as well as making it a bit easier to sand and paint inside the horn.. the 1" throat horn design has a long thin neck and I can forsee trouble getting in there with paint and such.
My quandary surrounds the mating of the A-55G driver to a 2" throat tractrix horn.. I can buy adapters that go from the 1-3/8" thread to a bolt on 2" exit.. but is it going to destroy the sound?
Anyone have any experience with those adapters, or just some good old uninformed opinions?
Cheers!
Mike
