If you are build a big bass horn, with the box in the garage and you aren't fussed about looks, you can get away with using cheap formply, costing 40 - 80 per sheet. T20 uses 2.5 sheets, so the ply is not very expensive. The cuts are not complex or difficult. So a reasonably handy person can build one of these horns without too much difficulty. DIY is especially rewarding in terms of result and expense saved.

I would be very lucky to get to use such a design for a group at any time. Happy to be proven wrong on that one however! That said, this sounds like a custom job and that is what Red Spade Audio is all about. For a project like this, I can quote for anything ranging from design only to fully built and finished, and various options in between. Shoot me an email via the contact form to discuss further.

Would love to make a folded horn so big you could nearly get in it :P<br />OK maybe not quite that big, but in my room I could make a monster and use the garage room for the box and just let the outlet into the HT room. <br />But for the DIY'er - previously you got some import laminated ply that appeared OK for such a use. Can you supply a few sheets? rough price? or is that a large enough order to get delivered.<br />Thanks,<br />AdamAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581122131577626083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689487740107692135.post-78844975301805317652013-05-24T05:07:43.255-07:002013-05-24T05:07:43.255-07:00Oh, I've considered all of that and I think yo...Oh, I've considered all of that and I think you're right, she doesn't really need a car of her own :-) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545962012717070694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689487740107692135.post-49457300473954614072013-05-24T05:03:23.803-07:002013-05-24T05:03:23.803-07:00mmmm T20 - gonna have me one of them

If it were standing up in the garage, below a corner in your room with the mouth firing up. T20 is about 400 x 600mm foot print. You put a grille on the floor over the opening and cover with a bass trap, which is worth having anyway! Assuming of course there is space below and it doesn't put a bass horn in the middle of your garage. If that happens, well, do you REALLY need both cars as much as a bass horn? Just saying, let's be practical here ;) Notice how he omits to mention cutting the hole in the concrete, reo mesh and concrete dust all over the room.
