RE: its definitely a horn
You want me to clarify which part of your post was idiotic? Lets start with every part.
The reason why there are names like woofer, tweeter, sub-woofer etc. is because it specifies which driver (or "horn" if you're a fag) you're talking about. Back in ye olden days, audio systems only had one speaker, so no matter what kind of stupid name you called it, it was obvious what you were talking about.
As I said before, the name horn is a holdover from when the driver was encased in a flared horn-like housing. Ever hear the phrase "get on the horn with _______" which was referring to the really old style telephones that had ear pieces that looked like horns? Actually, the phrase predates phones when people would talk and listen through tubes with flares on both ends to communicate with distant people on subs, ships, buildings, etc.
But whatever, go ahead and ask for a replacement "horn" on your multi-driver speaker, and when they ask you wtf you're talking about go full faggot on them.
