Iv been reading around to make the most hardcore enclosure I first thought of a TL but I think I

If that "944" implies a Porsche 944, forget about a folded horn and think about something else :)

It's not about the most "hardcore" enclosure, it's about what works best for the goals you have in mind. While I'm a huge fan of horn enclosures at home, in a vehicle they're simply too impractical in most cases. Unless you drive a full size SUV or cargo van.

Ohh no not for my car lol that would look like junk. its for a show room at my shop. mabie il sell it to someone with a huge suv but probly just for a show room.

Decware's Imperial Horn sounds like it'd be perfect for what you want :)

will do i was just wondring if there is any base rules I need to follow.

I'd start by reading all you can about horn design. Go on DIYAudio and soak up all you can. James Melhuish's excellent single driver site might have had a section on subwoofer horns, it's been a while since I've been there.

I used a Horn Loaded Design years back for night club enclosures and had

adjustable chokers in the port to altert the tuning..takes up alot of room though

I do have a design for a True Horn Loaded "Frugal Horn" home audio cabinet that

I have been sitting on for a while..I have been thinking on ordering some exotic

hardwood and making a pair

the Frugal Horns will be available for sale....

I'll be putting JBL PRO tweets and drivers in my personal pair

Iv read every thing I could find still have no clue about how to make them. If anyone has plans to make a folded horn that uses a single 10 I would be more then happy to make it and see how it plays out. If not im thinking il make Decware's 10 inch death box.

for personal use or sale Thumpper??

I was going to build a pair of Spawns for my main speakers in the SET rig, ended up with BIBs though as they used a lot less wood. But the guys that design those plans really know what they're doing. Almost every design on that site has a corresponding DIYAudio thread in the Full Range section, helps answer any questions you may have or if the designers post updates/revisions...

Horns are very fun :)

that thing is HUGE......
