Bass Horn Road Trip To Georgia

I was given an opportunity to pick up some one of a kind bass horns recently so I jumped at them and went to pick them up this weekend. This would be a trek across Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.

The view leaving Arkansas.

  

The next day we made it to Georgia at my friend and horn builder JC's house. We were relieved to get one of them loaded but we were still unsure if we could get both of them into my Yukon.

 The back door just barely fit with both of these horns in the Yukon. We had to reposition and nudge them into place before the back door would shut. Then we had to ride home without as much room in the front seats.. Wow that was a long drive.

Horn Loaded Yukon. Yes I actually buy vehicles based on cargo capacity. I suppose I should have gone with the longer Suburban or better fuel economy Penzgaur.

 

 Oh man blurry pics make me look much better. 

HOLY CRAP THESE ARE BIG 8-)

 Driving all weekend and moving the horns into the house myself did make me this tired... It was definitely worth it.

Of course I picked up a few more goodies. A pair of 12 inch drivers for each horn. According to JC the horns can utilize dual 18, 15, or 12 inch drivers.  I also picked up an Ashly crossover I wasn't expecting but am very happy to have it.

 So I'm close to finishing up my Jubilee 2 way horn system when this falls into my lap. BTW JC also built my Jubilee's. The bass horns should make it to just about 400hz so maybe aim for 350hz. So what to do for 350hz-20khz? Three way with a tractrix mf and hf horns with who knows what drivers? Or a big tractrix or le cleach round horn with an eight inch Lowther or Tang Band to cover from 350hz  to 20khz? I'd like to try the later as I've never lived with Lowthers but I have heard them. Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks again JC!
