Tuning a back loaded horn


What is the best material to use to tune a back loaded horn?

After doing some research I saw poly-fil is widely recommended for TL enclosures. Would poly-fil work for a back loaded horn also?

Thanks

The real wool is treated you will not have a moth problem. You tune a BLH from the driver down you shouldnt need to damp mouth but this all depends on cabinet design and driver choice. I could help you more if I knew this.
Eldartford,Back loaded horns are used in many full range driver systems using lowther AER fostex drivers, others. They are more of a hybrid of TL BR and horn in a folded pathway cabinet.But a few are true full back loaded horns but even they need some tuning. When you used a fullrange you need to absold some of the back wave to prevent a peak in frequincy responce. This is what the poster is refering too.
