[QUOTE="Moble Enclosurs, post: 7835271, member: 634917"] Well, there are certain things to look at in horn enclosures that you typically do not concentrate as much on with conventional ports. Things such as cross-sectional cutoff points, throat impedance and velocity, and coupling efficiency at the opening in relation to driver control and LF cutoff. These vary a lot depending on the subs used, and also how much room you have to use in order to obtain a desired response goal. All in all, if these factors prove usable, a horn can give great output in SPL measurements, but its concentration can be more geared towards smoother output in car audio being that in a lot of cases, the use of line length can exceed the dimensional space for more output than that of a standard ported box with a small compression.
