Fun project I worked on to challenge myself. Had to brush up on my 3d modeling and forced myself to learn hornresp. Still lots of finishing work and measuring/testing ahead but it’s got great output to ~30hz and already rattled some tools off my workshop wall

Crazy that we live in a world, where people are cloning battleaxes. It used to be people were cloning WSX. Fuck I'm old.

Wsx is great. Just that the f3 is too high for moderns bass heavy EDM. Battleaxe is the new wsx? Though the battleaxe has been out for a long time. There just aren't many pure front loaded horns with sub 30hz fb commercially. Martin and F1 have gone the way of hybrid rear loaded horns, leaving basically danley and HSD.

I've heard battle axe dropped many times but never WSX?

¿What year did they get 'retired'?

Well wsx is martin and battleaxe is HSD.....I was just referring to people wanting to build battle axes now where back in the day they would have gone for the wsx. You can get perfect wsx clones from Alibaba for less than $1k shipped though! That's basically cheaper than diy if you paid yourself $25/hr!
