A cap question for designers & builder in the know

[cminor9]

So, did you see it in the theaters in the 70's? I didn't, I just remember hearing all the hype. I was just pointing out how loud(106db/1w/1m) those folded horn enclosures are for low bass.

Oh, just wiki'd "Brown Note".....

No, haha, before my time. But with all those low bass frequencies, you never know what could...happen.

Most interesting

Regarding the thread about a passive x-over, yes there is most definitely a x-over circuit before the hf horn. However while a big cap like I'm referring to would, like any cap act as a high pass filter however the value is very large & instead of passing off the high freq's to a horn or small diaphragm shunts them to ground. This was just a thought I had running around my head one day & something I was thinking could maybe be used like an effect pedal switched on & off.

Thanks. I wish it was an old 70's Acoustic like John Paul Jones used to use but no... it's one of the modern "made in China" ones from the local GC. Still overall not a bad rig for so little money (think I paid about $800 for the whole she-bang... 200W head, 410 cab, 115 cab.) As for adding a CV 118 sub cab... would be cool but very $$$. I was thinking of something more on the "cheap" side that could be switched in & out like an effect, not for constant use (unless it sounds that good I'd want to use it most of the time.)
