There is a variety of horns on this site so if you tell us what you are looking to accomplish we can assist, if you are looking for info on the Jensen Design you may want to talk to them.

On the search I did for the Jensen sub it says a after using one, "We saw a mouse stagger out of a crack in the concrete floor and die.".... If you are using it for a mouse trap I guess it may work. Not sure why you would use something that kills animals for sound reinforcement. But I would get a cat instead, but if you get a cat beware they like to crawl up folded horns.

It was a good enough design in its day. But its day was 50 years ago. Irrelevant today.

I remember seeing those plans online, free of charge. Same with Altec Voice Of The Theatre plans. Horn design and driver technology have come a LONG way since then, though, so building those old designs would be a waste of time, effort, money, and materials.

The good news is ... If you're searching for good horn designs, at the cutting edge of technology, you're in the right place, though!

I would like to thank everyone for there information, it is amazing how far speakers and designs have progressed. I always find it interesting to compare the different designs, I learn a lot from doing so. Thanks again, Mark
