A local shop of mine is saying that the following picture is 13w1v2's in a folded horn enclosure. Looks much too small to be an actual folded horn if you ask me.

Looks like decent quality construction though...who knows how they'd do acoustically //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

er no arent folded horn enclosures totally different. Like sub inside the box?

Front horns have the sub entirely in the box, and only the front wave is horn loaded...rear horns aren't used as much for subs, but they have the driver facing out as well as having the rear wave in a horn.

BUT... Built correctly, an actual horn would be MUCH bigger, especially for a 13" driver; like kitchen sized:naughty:

This shop really isnt that bad. This is the only thing I have found them BSing on so far. The owner is a really nice guy. I'm not lookin, I was just lookin through their myspace and came accross this pic

if you knew anything you would know the port opening alone pretty much concludes its not a horn.

There is no way that is a folded horn, but I have seen some pretty compact ones. At the AES convention last weekend, I talked to the head of R&D for EM Acoustics who had a half dozen of these on display: http://www.emacoustics.co.uk/products/mse-118/. It was a blast talking to someone who really knew their shit inside and out with cabinet design.
