Hi all.
Attempting to get a plan together for my first build.
Maybe a little optimistic but will push along hopefully with some help of some of the more experienced people on here.
I have never heard the Unos but I love the look of them and have been impressed enough with other horn systems that I've heard, to want to investigate a little more.
I have been doing as much research as I can, but to be honest it's hurting my head. Construction of the horns will be out of birch ply. The cabinets will be out of mdf. I will be turning the horns and making the boxes myself, I have most of materials already, just need some drivers and a bit of help.
Looking for info with regards to the lower cutoff for the horns, which drivers would be recommended. I was looking to keep the mid horn around 500mm which would limit me to crossing over around the 350hz mark? Trying to find a driver that will allow this but not be stupidly expensive. Was planning to run these up to around the 4000khz mark then crossover to hf horn.
I was looking to keep the front baffle as thin as possible, so had the idea of side firing woofers. Maybe twin 12 inch per cabinet? Would it be possible to match the Uno by using front firing 8 inch woofers and get down to around 40hz. I can make some subs later to fill in the bottom end if need be.
Mini dsp will be employed to get everything up and running, with a passive crossover to be made be local speaker maker after construction and testing is completed.
Please any comments are welcome, positive or negative. Any books that I could read, or websites to look at that would help. I will post photos of my build when it kicks off, looking forward to making some dust.
