Go for tapped horns. It's a horn, good efficiency, very small footprint, easier than building a proper exponential horn, fairly easy to design 20-100hz , and doesn't need an expensive driver.

Yes, efficiency is a good thing.
Yes, I'm pretty sure most if not all the members contributing to this thread have heard low frequency horns.
BUT, is it really necessary in your case? Is it...
It's gonna cost you a lot more money, space, and time to set up proper bass horns. I'd go with widget's idea.
Here is an image of what I'm trying to do. I guess I can always knock out my own little horn design, but I have no idea how it'll sound. I'm thinking the top and bottom should be asymmetrical like...
Wow! Thanks so much, what a cool video, it's all French I never would've found it on youtube. I totally thought the driver was flat like most of the 1"-2" throat compression drivers we see around.

Hello, I'm thinking about DIYing a small horn for my TAD ET 703 driver instead of the using the original TAD slot/horn). I'll be using it on top of a 1.5"-2" throat midrange horn like JBL's...
The plugs are only needed when you use the SWP's. They turn the BBSM-10's into sealed enclosures for integrating with the SWP's. They have nothing to do with the Audax drivers and updated crossovers....
This is what mine looks like :)
Hello hjames, that's exactly what I am using, I didn't know they were called Zilch plugs... :p Painting them matte black definitely look a lot better!

Hi Widget, I don't know what Zilch plugs are but I got those 2" test plugs at a hardware store. Westlake told me to buy them and seal the 10's ports... good thing I have the pro version speakers,...
Hi Pos, if you're talking about the speaker in my avatar I actually don't own it so I don't know how the Westlakes would compare :( The Audax mids were replaced and they are still perfectly fine, ...
I'd like to say thanks to Mr. Widget and Edgewound for helping me revive these speakers 3 years ago. Mr. Widget got me the recone kits on the TAD 1801's and Edgewound did the recone job. I've just...
I think you can request Westlake to build SM-1's with TAD ET-703's, I remember seeing Ken Pachkowsky post a photo of SM-1 Towers with 703's... can't find the thread though... :dont-know:
Oh my... I have always wanted these but reluctant to ask... THANK YOU Mr. WIDGET~ :applaud: :D
Hello Mr. Widget :)
I agree, there probably isn't anything better than the TAD 4003's... so good that even my 5-way horn system can't match with it. Everything image and sound good, but noticeably...
OH HELL YEAH.
:D:bouncy::cool::spin::rockon2:
News Update:
Thanks to... you all know who ;)... TAAA DAAAAaaa~
Hello, the upper level does nothing, my dad and i wanted to even out the front wall by building a curved center and symmetrical doors, we're using the lower level as storage. The upper level is where...
The system:
I'm guessing it's ok to go off topic in my own thread... :p
Our setup was:
TAD 1603 on tapped horn (20-65hz)
TAD 1101H on 1/2 space 53hz expo horn with 5in throat (65-292hz)
GOTO 505TT on...
Thanks Mr. Widget, funny you asked about the 4002/4003, my dad and I have been messing around the past few days, check out the pictures, will try to describe in words the difference soon...
Best...
From Drew Daniels' paper...
I'd like to try them for my horns, does anyone know where to get the stuff? I tried searching on spectrastrip's site but there are so many models I have no idea...
Yes, more info please :)
Hi Andyoz,
I don't know if Westlake will send you a pair of BBSM-12's mid, but I drove there and got a pair 2 summers ago. And don't use the "one size fits all" mid, it's not gonna be the same.
...
Interesting to see TAD ET-703 being used instead of JBL's 2403. I remember talking about that with Ken C. last summer... I guess the deal for 100 units of 2403 didn't work out...
