[sdiy] OT: Horn Speakers

[patchell]

    I found a book once that had plans for all kinds of speakers....however,
that was back in 1970 and I am afraid I don't remember the title, let alone
the author.  However, they don't call them exponential horns for
nothing....(the shape of the horn is an exponential)...and it turns out that
the size of the mouth determines the frequency response....but, that is about
all I can remember...I would think a search of the internet would turn up
something...well, maybe not.
