The surface of my fiberglass horns is quite rough. The mould was sprayed from a distance with some water based paint - so it all landed in fine globules. Maybe this is too fine a rough texture though. I like the idea of thick artists oil paint…

Sorry for this long rant but I feel a rebuttal is necessary.1. Back in the 90's you had 480 I video and 16/44 or dolby 2.1 analog audio. Then the sound was crap as was the video so you could get away with a crappy setup. Now we have 1080P video and 2...

Eduardo,
Thanks for your thoughts and illustrations. I also do not feel that loosely-suspended very small metal cone might be a right solution for midbass. To develop LF you need pressure, pressure is surface by exertion – there is nothing els...
