Folded horn. Yes, it can be, but depends what your end result needs to be and how many of them you can get (work best in multiples). What do you need a soundsystem for exactly? A bit more detail will ensure a better answer.

Adding to above post,

Whether or not this will be a good design "for you and your music type/venues", will also depend on:

  • Music types you'll be playing, and low end sub frequencies you need reproduced with authority,
  • Number of cabs you'll be taking to each gig,
  • Your max budget for sub drivers, and sub amplifiers
If you don't have much budget, for decent sub amplifiers, or very modern 18" sub woofers, would suggest you forget all about sound, and buy some golf clubs.

Ok well I ended up buying it and sub was blown. Anyways I'm jus into home audio. I went to school for mobile electronics installation  so I'm a bass head from car audio scene  but I sold my car cause I can't drive anymore legal issues. So I've recently gotten back into home audio. I have a friend in same situation and we are always competing who's system pounds hardest. So jus personal. For fun. But now I need to get a 18 and not sure what would work in enclosure. The guy I bought from told me it was a Black Widow but it was just a burnt Rockville

what's your relationship with your neighbours like? 

If they live within a hundred metres then a folded horn may not be the best choice for home audio - and it's almost certainly not going to sound that good in a smallish room

About the neighbors point taken..I live n snooty gated community that trip on everything. I've always been curious about them since I went to a party at small apartment and they had one n there. It was insane it was the W bin I think it's called . Anyways thanks
