as some of u may have read from my post in the lounge i originally bought 2 seismic audio enforcer 2's which aparently arent real good or enough.
i was also mistaken on the room size its not 3,000 sq ft its closer to 2,300.
we currently hold 2 dance/partys a month and the main music played is techno/dubstep/hiphop.
i would love to build my own enclosures and load them with good drivers, but im stuck on deciding which way i should go as far as folded horn/bass reflex/bandpass etc style enclosures
any feedback or suggestions + pros and cons on each style of enclosure will be greatly apreciated.
size and wieghts of enclosures are of no concern as this will be a permanent install
"Best" means may different things.
YOU and ONLY YOU have to start to put some parameters on what YOU are willing to deal with in YOUR application.
THe size of the room has nothing to do with it. What IS important are the following: What is the largest size YOU are willing to move around? What about weight?is that an issue? Can you deal with 300+ lb cabinets?
By your style of music-we know you want low and loud. That does not come cheap. What is YOUR budget? for complete cabinets or materials if you DIY?
When considering budget-you ALSO have to include amplifiers. If you have small amps-then you should go with horn loaded cabinets-but that means large and heavy (in order to get deep bass).
If you have have big amps-then you can go with front loaded (generally smaller and lighter), but you will need more of them (AND amplifiers) to get as loud.
Have you considered AC power for the amps? How much do you have available? That will also greatly affect how much sound you can get before tripping breakers.
You HAVE to clearly define the target-BEFORE you start jumping in all directions. What do YOU have, that you can deal with?
It doesn't matter what "the best" is-if you can't afford it or move it around. What is best for one person in an application is totally wrong for another.
