Dear DIY speaker Gods,
I'm looking into building a 2 way system. (with the possible option of adding a super twitter later along the line).
I don't believe I'm qualified for designing something from scratch, so the idea is to find a build that's known to work relatively well (plans + driver models + crossover design).
regarding priorities, I want something loud but not full on PA style, I'm thinking something like the JBL model 14 - 1 horn for mids and highs, and a reflex box with a 12" or so. I'm not interested in how the speaker looks, just want something that will perform well and of relatively simple geometry, space is not much of an issue either. I'm thinking along the lines of a 2 way LaScala but with contemporary drivers. I know this is probably starting to sound like cornscala to you, but couldn't it be more interesting in terms of efficiency to have a rear loaded horn on the low perhaps?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
