Thanks Art. I have the Eminence design software with the ported cabs, but was thinking I could get better SPLs and higher efficiency with horns. You know more bang for you buck. Andy |

I would suggest you will need to look beyond the small horns you currently have |

Any thoughts on the THAM15 design? Seems simple enough to make. Maybe an extension can be put on that or will it even work on a tapped horn? Andy |

Ya, I didnt think an horn extension would be to good for a taped horn. How about a single fold horn with an extension? Like a "W" bin? Andy |

"Straight horns benefit from horn extensions, but a more judicious use of wood is making long path folded horns, then coupling multiple units." Has this been done with 15" speakers? Andy |

Yes. |

Chris; Thanks for your thoughts. I understand what you are saying, but I gess I am hung up on the 12" drivers being a compermise or a trade off some how. I do not what to copermise. How many would I need for a football field? I am not convinced thay are the best solution for my applicatoin and am trying to keep all opshoins open at this time. Andy |

The best solution...was to enlist someone that could give you (and the Company Owner) some advice before you started on this road of building a System. |

Impulsive....doing or saying something without researching the possible consequences. |

When building a speaker box: a) Define the Box with the specs you're looking for. b) Find the Box with those specs c) Buy the Drivers and components to build & load the box |

Instead of building a system... (for someone that has NO clue), it is cheaper, less time consuming, more practical and will provide better results to purchase a speaker system. |
Quote: |
(But, you said that money is not an issue if results can be had...so, why not purchase and know immediate results?) |
Quote: |
No, I don't think you're lying about having two different HF drivers. I think you have NO clue as to why this was an important question. Why would you insist on using these two unmatched drivers? AND..you never mentioned any drivers (or intentions to purchase) to handle Low & Mid Frequencies. |

I am (as others) trying to help you, but you don't seem to understand that you're way over your head. If you need immediate results...then buy a complete system off the shelf. It's cheaper, it's cheaper even if you're not in a hurry. |

Building speaker boxes to fit any resemblance of a functioning, decent sounding system costs money, takes time, and requires patience and a lot of research. |

I was referring to your boss mostly... HE should have bought a system. He should have paid someone for PROPER ADVICE. As a "business man" he should have known better...you don't get something for nothing. |
Quote: |
What I don't understand ...is that you seem to be talking out of both sides of your mouth... Sure, everyone wants to save money, but, when you have no clue as to all of the parameters of building any speaker box...then, one would/should purchase. |

That would be the least of your worries anyhow.
We have been trying to tell you the "best way to go".
Either way... you're (boss) going to make a sacrifice.
Seems like he's either unreasonable and won't face the truth, or that YOU can't be honest with him..? Either way HE LOSES. |
