Hi djlivex,
yes you can build TH_1819 with 15mm Marine plywood and I have simulated some different Faital 18-inch and also Faital 15-inch drivers and results were great to go down to 25Hz +/- 3dB outdoors, so indoors the results will be even much better.
Great! Which 15" Faital (18" Faital expensive) I'll be happy with 30Hz outdoors, what's the average SPL 30-100Hz? I plan on 4 subs initially. Just curious! Thanks!
Look at US Speakers for Faital 15FH500 and 18FH500, with average SPL 98dB 30-100Hz outdoors.
Ok thanks! I know those drivers, which Faital can I use to get an average SPL of 105dB 1W/1M outdoors???
Faital 15FH500 is great if you want low you loose on high SPL, cant have boath
at 2,0 Pi (outdoors) 2,83V @ 1m; 20Hz-88,68dB; 25Hz-94,45dB; 30Hz-96,99dB at 0,5 Pi (corner indoors) 2,83V @ 1m; 20Hz-101,51dB; 25Hz-107,0dB, 30Hz-108,7dB which are very good results.Would 4 per side 15FH500 or 18FH500 achieve 105 average +/- 3dB out doors or no can do? I like the simplicity in the build but indoors looks very nice, I maybe asking too much!
Yes 105dB is the minimum for 4 per side which can achieve out doors, if they are colocated up to 110dB. Site for SPL calculation.

That's great when I finish my current project I will start on these. I am currently building a small 3 way with subs for up to 300 venues dance system. I have been looking around for a nice Tapped Horn to build on here including the Xoc or 35Hz Tapped Horn but this cuts the cake for low output, this may shake my furniture out of my house! LOL
Hi ZivkoF, what tops are those you have pictures in previous post? Are they DIY and what HF horn you're using, driver just curious. Will you be using this as 3-way for PA use and/or playback? Thanks!
HF is Neo Compression Driver BMS4540ND with 114 dB sensitivity @ 1W/1m

Thanks those are nice the BMS I guess can go lower crossed around 1.8kHz? Which 1" horn you're using and 12" driver just curious? Also since you've build one TH-1819 how is it coming along? I may use the Faital 18FH500 will build 4 subs initially, will let you know when I start!
It is 2-way system, mid bass driver is neodymium RCF_MB10N251 from 120 Hz - 3.0 kHz and BMS4540ND from 3.0 kHz - 26 kHz and TH_1819 is just perfect tonal blended in
Nice builds, can I also ask you I happen to download and print the 15mm and 18mm version of the TH1819 plans. I would like to make it lighter by using 15 Marine Ply or Baltic Birch I have not decided which one but looking at the plans there is a measurement between the panels on the bottom spacing between 2 panels is 100mm for the 18 mm version plans. Now the 15mm version plans do not indicate the space would it be 106mm since it is thinner ply (15mm sub) or would it be the same 100mm indicated on the 18mm version and make adjustments for thinner wood??? Thanks!

If you want the lighter and the stronger the best way would be 18mm Marine Ply which is ligter than 15mm BB. 18mm Marine Ply weight is 450kg/m3 (18mm MP for 1m2 weight is 8,1kg) and 15mm BB weight is 720kg/m3 (15mm BB 1m2 weight is 10,8kg) and you need for TH-1819 construction 6m2 (18mm MP total weight is 48,60kg (107,28lbs) vs (15mm BB total weight is 64,80kg (143,05lbs). Yes you need to make adjustments for thinner wood (15mm).
Thanks, I was just reading the plans again tonight, there are 3 panel vertical, the last panel no measurement between panel 2 and 3, thanks looks like Marine 18mm then!
If you have Google SketchUp 8 program I will send you TH_1819 plans in that program and it will be very easy for you, just PM to me your e-mail

Do you think these tops might be good for PA use? Also, do you have frequency response plots or hornresp models of them?
P.s. stumbled on your youtube video while searching for drivers

Shure are good for PA use with high sensitivity and controled dispersion, they are very flat. I will post new video to youtube in short time with new TH_1819 (just building the second one
). The video will host two of the TH_1819s.
