Is the hi - mid component of this box the same as an SM80? A 3 year old SM80?

I can think of a theater I sometimes work at that this box might be perfect for.

Yes, the mid/hi is the same xover-horn-and coax driver.

The newer versions have the Sentinel peak and continuous protection on the HF driver.

By newer versions do you mean on the SM80F only or regular SM80's after a certain production date?

The regular SM80s have had the protection in them for around 2 years or more.

A good example would be installs in arenas that have the amp racks located a good distance away from the speakers.  100m runs are often normal.

We did 1 stadium in which they used a 8 ga run to each loudspeaker.

Long runs, sure, but as a last minute change?

I'm sorry-but I don't understand the question.

Maybe you ask another way.

The comment I replied to brought up the reality that there are in fact times where a speaker must be hastily placed due to whatever reason.  In the case of an installed speaker in such large facilities and not a spontaneous fill for a mobile event, I would anticipate that proper planning of sufficient cable is standard

Agreed.

And in many cases, what we do (have to do) violates many "basic rules", but it "gets the job done".

It is always good to understand the possible results of your particular actions.

But sometimes you do it anyway---------

As long as you get the check-all is good

Just got a pair of these in for a customer. These are a tough move for 1 person, not bad for 2 though. Awesome for a raised stage if you can just roll one out to each front corner.

I can carry and lift them on a crank stand by myself, and I'm old.

I relate size and weight to output. In that respect I find them not very heavy at all.

Andre the giant? What did you do with John?
