A folded horn is a clever acoustic labyrinth that dramatically increases the efficiency of a woofer. Instead of firing directly into the room, the back wave of the driver is channeled through a long, flared path that is folded inside the cabinet. This design is highly efficient, meaning it can generate massive sound pressure levels from a relatively modest amount of amplifier power. As one user noted, "the folded horn design will get you significantly more output at whatever range the box is tuned to". This is the secret to the B119's legendary performance.

The specific driver that powered the B119 was the , an 18-inch, heavy-duty cast-frame woofer with a 3-inch aluminum voice coil. This robust driver was the final piece of the puzzle, engineered to handle high power and move significant amounts of air.
