Waveguide suggestions for BMS 4540ND?

300Z · 28th August 2007, 10:36 PM

Looking for suggestions for a set of waveguides to be used with BMS 4540ND drivers... Preferably no larger than 8"...

Right now I'm considering the Eighteen Sound XT1086 but I'll need an adapter for the CD and it's a slightly larger than I would like to use.

So, Any suggestions?

Thanks

Leo

This is worth reading... I think your choise is a good one.
Though, why would you need an adaptor?

I have read that post, which is why the XT1086 is my #1 choice at this point.

But as far as I know the BMS 4540ND is a screw on CD and the XT1086 is a bolt-on waveguide, or am I wrong?

Thanks for the input so far.

Here's a link to a parts express waveguide. There is also a
6 incher.

I have not purchased one, so no opinion on quality...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have used the 6" loaded with the Dayton RS28A and the results were very poor...

I just wanted to get it done right this time around and be done with it...

I also need a waveguide that I can use down to ~1.6khz or thereabouts...
