Description
Like all of our kits, the Frugel Horn XL kit speakers have been fully CNC machined from 18 mm Baltic Birch Ply to provide an accurate and repeatable method for anyone to build this pair of DIY full range loud speakers. The kit uses mitred joints to make assembly of the cabinets as easy as possible. It is compatible with Markaudio Pluvia 11, Alpair 11MS, Alpair 10.3, Alpair 10P and MAOP 11 drivers.
This easy to build kit comes with all the panels needed to build a pair of Frugel Horn XL speakers, all you’ll have to do is add glue to the slots in the large side panels and push the panels together. Following the component selection steps here you can add all the extra’s that you will need to complete your build.
The range of Frugel Horns make use of a tapered hypex horn with internal choke, after Olson, with the judicious use of damping allows for tuning to the room (& placement in the room), as well as your taste in bass quantity and tuning.
Scott Lindgren gets credit for the design of the current horns, Ron Clarke deserves mention for coming up with the curved mouth which allows a rectangular mouth to act more like an ideal circle, David Dlugos for drawings & web-site, Chris Bobiak for producing the original prototypes. The home of the Frugel Horn is over at the Frugal-Horn website The plans for the Frugel Horn XL plans are available from that site if you decide to go it alone rather than use one of our Frugel Horn XL flat pack speaker cabinet kits. You’ll need to give a donation to DIYaudio.com before you can get the plans, and you can find details about that on the Frugal Horn website.
Take a look over at our instruction page for this design to see how simple it is to put it together.
