**The LAB12 was specifically designed for use in a horn loaded enclosure engineered by participants of the Live Audio Board at
http://www.prosoundweb.com/lsp/. There are five points (listed on the last page) you must consider when using these drivers, exclusively in the Live Audio
Board design. The woofer is also suitable for more conventional applications, such as the designs on these pages, where extended Xmax is desired.
