Hi all,
I was about to order a couple of Eminence Kappa 15C to put in my Peavey FH-1 bass horns. I do know that the Kappa 15C works really well in the FH-1 enclosure, having seen measurements and testimonials.
But I stumbled across an ad of a guy selling a few B&C 15NDL76 woofers, mint, a price slightly cheaper than brand new Kappa 15C; so now I'm hesitating.
Looking at the specs, the B&C seems perfect for a horn with a QTS of 0,22; it also has strong Neodymium magnet and cast frame vs ferrite and stamped steel.
It also has 7mm Xmax vs 2,5mm for the Kappa 15C.
I would be using it on the 70 to 400Hz range, in a tri-amped audiophile system, with low power class D amplifiers.
But I would like to model the response but I cannot do it; my computer is a Mac and Hornrespons can't be used on it.
If someone looking at the specs could tell me if it is a good choice, or possibly model it for me?... :-/ Klipsch Lascala / Belle model could work as well, as the horn is very similar. Currently using Klipsch K33E woofers but I would like more definition and output in the 150-400 range, which the Kappa 15C does.
Thanks in advance!

Now that MacOS is based on BSD, can't you use Wine?

It actually works with that latest version of crossover if you have the latest OSX installed. Due to the fact that they scrapped 32bit apps only wine64 is supporter at the moment. They are working on a fix, but to my knowledge there is no release yet for it. Crossover did a quick hack to make 32bit Windows applications work again. You can try the trail if you want to have a quick spin.
If you’re not on the latest OSX yet, wine should still work (use wine bottler for convenience).

Hello Rolox!
Did you continue with the FH1 build? How is the result?
I have the same 15NDL76, and like you, thinking of using them in a FH1 clone.
Thanks!
