[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 81396, member: 30"] Re: VTC subs compare to Danleys? It depends on how high you want the loudspeaker to operate. As with all things audio-once you start to think in terms of wavelength-all sorts of things start to become clearer. Since the sub wavelengths are so long (as the intended usage of the cabinet in question) it really doesn't matter going around corners. If you were talking about higher freq (even a couple of hundred Hz,then yes-you don't want bends -or corners to go around. A straight horn is much better. Luckily a horn for those higher freq is also shorter-which works out well. :) The main reason bass horns are bent/folded etc is to get the long length to fit inside a manageable size. [/QUOTE]
