@Buck , generally speaking, would you say it's worth putting a tapped horn in a car over a ported box, given that you're using the right woofer or do they generally take up too much space for that application?

Simple Tapped Horn Tutorial using Hornresp

I actually haven't been to a concert ever really. I've studied equipment and all from learning enclosures, but yeah, I agree with you in general. I was just adding to it. The only time I've seen xmax matter is with super low hz Spl systems. I knew someone who put so much power into their sundown nightshades like double rms they were bottoming out the nightshades (in normal recommended airspace/series 6th wall) but not blowing the coil, and the box was tuned super low in the mid to low 20's iirc. That's where I've seen/heard xmax play a factor before. Nightshades have like 54mm of one way xmax iirc. The situation wasn't a situation most people would ever run into because most people aren't trying to play 20 hz at like 155-160db. I guess what I mean is there's a certain threshold in some situations where xmax can matter but situations where it matters, most people don't find themselves in.

Yes. I have a question. Looking at the schematics, since mono is one or one speaker to the amplifier, how many outputs to a mono amplifier on one amp? If you bridge it, that means you’ll splice the two cables together to combine two. So you have one input and one speaker output and one ground. Is that the correct inputs and outputs to the mono amplifier? I’m only putting in my input to prove my validity too.

On the bench test radio at home, just buy a (PSU) power supply unit at Walmart. Converts wall outlet AC current to DC 12 volts power supply. Just make sure the radio is about 5 ampere. Working…
