definitely cool. whats the tuning and whats the effect of the increasing port size?

Either I'm looking at this wrong or the port on this thing is ginormous!

I'm confused, are we looking at the side? It looks like the port is firing to the right but the sub is firing either towards us or aware from us (in/out of the page). Is that right? Looks like it would be awesome if you could do it right...would sound like *** if you screw it up...

I'm confused on how it would even work that well with a port that big....Mind giving us an explanation, you threw us a bone but forgot to let us off our leash!

That particular one is called the LAB Horn. There are a few variants of it but all are designed to do over 132 dB in an open field. Complete details here...

This design is called "The Punisher"

Ridiculous. Smells like very expensive machining equipment to make those.

EDIT: Oh and the mounting depth on "the punisher" looks like a large limiting factor.

looks like it would be something fun to build if there alot more specs on it that told the angles, tuning, and what sub it was made for so you can find a similar 1 and so on

PA horns are quite common...They typically are not designed to give the low end response people want from subs

x2 most prefab ones have a cutoff frequency of 30Hz or higher but awesome SQL within their range. You can design one for low bass but the box would be huge(and it is already huge) and even more complex.

Eminence makes a sub called lab12 and that first picture of the box is designed for that sub. This box should fit something stubby like that, nothing crazy big but horn-loaded box doesn't need a whole lotta xmax to make lots of bass.

You can probably hit 160dB with just one sub if you really know your ways around a horn box, which is exactly 0.00000000000000001% of all the car audio nerds.

, i wouldnt exactly say a 160 but its definately the best way to get the most out of what you have. We did a rear loaded horn on my buddys 9518 in his excursion, filled the whole cargo with the third row taken out. But it doesnt really peek at any hz, just destroys everything!
