I will have plans made up for this rearload horn in the future. It is not for the faint of heart. I have used it with modern 15" plus horn loaded top, and if you have the skill, the corner, and the room, it is really quite something.
We used to play the fantasy Telarc disc "Jurassic Lunch" at work with a B+C Co-Ax, and people who heard it would be stunned for just a second. 96dB/1w/1m with 600 watts from one 15" speaker is something to hear.I was very lucky to get these plans from my mentor in Philly in the late 60's. Charles Niwniski of Vertec Radio on Arch street. Long gone, he gave me these plans and a bunch of RCA stuff. Dare I say it-- a Duo-Cone for $80.00!
I still have it. There was a lucky star over me that day.Bill
