what are the bass drivers?

Studio Au · 17th January 2013, 07:53 AM

Still as yet undecided, set up a separate thread to try and figure it out.

I see,

Im keen to have them running the other way, for aesthetic reasons, and allows more nesting of components and so less material wastage.

Are those yours?

Good luck Danny.

What drivers are you using? Active XO?

barackuda · 18th January 2013, 10:03 AM

I am using Fostex 168EZ Sigma drivers, XO will be active, probably miniDSP, I need to build some SET amp for them, the bottom will be probably 15" Pro driver or very 12" Pro driver, not decided yet...
I did had them running in the enclosures, and I can tell, there was no need for a sub in about 15m2 room, no booming, no shouting, I was very surprised how it turnd out sonic wise....
Even with a lot of EQ and high volume, the drivers were not distorting even with high excursions...

Danny

P.S.: can I send the pics to someone to upload for others to see? using tablet now and i cant upload them, can email them tough...

Studio Au · 18th January 2013, 10:05 AM

I can put them on my dropbox if you email me them...
