I remember an article in one of the UK mags some years ago, can't
remember which ... of a guy in Wales who specialised in concrete
underfloor subwoofer builds :-)


Yep, not uncommon it would seem and I was told recently that when central
heating started to become commonplace a number of 'audio buffs' converted
their chimneys into massive horn speakers...!!!???


The driver/s at the chinney pot end?


So I gather, but this was from another Scot in whom I'm fast losing
faith.....


IIRC, the driver was at the fireplace end, the chimney being used as a
B&W style tapered transmission line, rather than a horn. But it was a
long time ago, late '60s or early '70s I think.
