Great to hear someone is going to take these on ...  You may want to get the Decware modded drivers for these along with the plans you have as Steve really recommends them for the Corner Horns.    Dave

Hi Alex,  You should talk to or e-mail Steve to see if the 167 is even worth trying in the C-Horns. It's a totally different animal than the 166, here's a few specs;

fe167                  fe166
Qms 4.63             Qms 3.89
Qes 0.33               Qes 0.22
Qts 0.31                Qts 0.21
Vas 35.94L            Vas 45.11L  

 It would seem a shame to take on the complexity of the C-Horns and not use the driver that is recommended for them. In any case check with the man that designed them to see if your ok with the 167 etc...   Looking forward to the progress of your build.......         Dave

Thanks for the education, I should have re-read some stuff .  I thought for sure it was the 166 as it's mostly recommended for horn type enclosures and the 167 is used by many in ported type enclosures etc... Funny on the page for the DFR65 the specs are the same as the fe166...   In any event it will be cool to follow your build      Dave

hey everyone  ive been busy since last winter/spring moved 2 more times

i have 2 horns with me now and the other 2 are back home in the garage sadly collecting dust plan to bring them here to ottawa soon.....but til then...i may be willing to sell them for the right price





ohh btw the second alcove sounds sweet,  even with both horns running off 1 channel of a crapy old amp i had lying around

heres a pic of how i had them set up in the place i lived over the the past 8 months
i made a pair for 4 1/2 inch high kerfed Mdf toe kicks for them once night
just so i can raise it up past the baseboard  i also picked up some of the great black plastic adjustable feet and put them under the horns  easy leveling and making it tight to the walls , gasket was also added against the walls and 1 batt per side of horn of  Ruxul Safe n'sound 4 total


i worked at a commercial millwork shop building things like recpetion desks and many other things , loved that kind of work... now am in a partnership do more install cabinets and renos and tile work...busy busy

but soon enough ill take a pic of my current setup

ill try to keep up with this thread

its gonna be hard to make the 67.5 degree angle cuts over 42 " without a reliable table saw

not to mention the small angled and tapered peices from part V to the landing , i made a taper jig on the table saw and used a chop saw and cut each angle til it was right then made sure it taperd and sat tight on the sides.
the only way to put this piece in is to glue, and use tape  or

i got a lil impatient and got out some window insulation spray foam and foamed it in from the underside( was the only way i could hold it ....is quite narrow inside the horn , couldn't even get a nail gun inside there)

ohh Trick  for the sail curves i used  a belt sander with 24 and 36 grit and mounted it upside down(makita is best for this) used it like a jointer and ran it across until i was close and started to do the compond curved angle

have u thought about finishing ideas?
painting is the way to go far as im concerned  

veneering this monster would be a real b!tch
and ive done my share of veneering, especially curves

well ill check back and give some more advise as u go along

hope things work out for ya

Hi Alex,

Did these ever get off the ground?
