[djbfreak]

and a 10" :

and a 8" but I don't like it, maybe someone know q good design with these a driver about same specs:

what do you think of these drivers??

Forget about 10" or 8", go for 12" or 15".
Dayton PA310-8 is OK, but consider also Fane Sovereign 12-300

and Eminence Gamma 15-2

the sovereign 12-300 looks good! already know gamma serie!

There are a lot of older PAs with a bunch of D120 or D130 speakers in 'em. Not always the best choice.

 

[djbfreak]

D120 and D130 are JBL? don't have enough budget to get JBL xD

Its more of a sub.
I use the FS 15-600LF as a sub.

A Fane Sovereign 12-250TC would be better.
Or a 12-200LC.

The Dayton Audio PA3xx series drivers appear to have decent & competitive specs for the price point. The 12s might be a good choice. China or Korea...who knows?

 

[djbfreak]

yeah the specs looks ok for a chep PA! do you thing 1x12 is ok for small rig without sub, or 2x12"?

 

[wg_ski]

2x12 doesn't go any lower than 1x12. Just 6dB more output and 6dB more heavy. If you're planning on using "a sub" with these a 1x12 is all you need. I run a pair of 2x12/2" alongside four horn subs, and it's about right for bass heavy music - you won't need 2x12 unless you have enough bottom to go with them.

 

[djbfreak]

I plan to use them with subs or without subs, my subs are tham12... 2xtham12(more on the way). I want to be able to use them without subs for smaller rig only 🙂

 

[nigelwright7557]

Is it a band or disco PA ?

My usual setup for a disco used to be 2 cabinets with 2 12 inch full range speakers in each.

Now I use 1 cabinet with a pair of 12 inch full rangers and a cabinet with a 15 inch sub.

 

[djbfreak]

It's for DJ and live sound but more live sound! I don't make DJ really often 😛 maybe 2x12 is the right box for me... but I need something compact! the footprint should not be more than 35cm by 52cm

 

[nigelwright7557]

With the speakers I use I get the sub on the car front passenger seat and the 2 by 12 inch goes in the back of the car. This leaves room for lighting and amplifiers.

 

[djbfreak]

no the problem is not in the car, it's in the room... I'm alone to set up 😛

 

[nigelwright7557]

I always put castors on my cabinets so they are easier to move around.

 

[djbfreak]

yeah it's the next step

 

[djbfreak]

I allready have 4 castors and when I put them on the sub they vibrate and make sound

Now I. have behringer B112D... now you understand why I want to buils something new

So you want to make a cheesy homemade enclosure with 2 cheesy $23 guitar speakers (35W) because you are not happy with your 1000W big woofer titanium diaphragm driver 2 way biamplified processed system?
What am I missing here?

Oh ..... it's the ...... LABEL?
"Behringer bad bad bad !!!!!!!" ???????????

OK, no big deal, you can :

* paint it flat black
* straight pull it
* get your trusty Sharpie[tm] pen and a Post It [tm] note, write JBL [tm] in big bold letters on it and stick it covering the .... ugh! ..... Behringer label.

I bet it feels much better now, doesn't it? 😉

 

[djbfreak]

ahahaha you need to ear them before commenting my opinion.
1 the "big woofer" is the worst quality I've ever heard, this it is only 800W peak for the woofer and 100W for de high...it's not a titanium driver it's a aluminuium driver the amp is ok but the rest... no! it's a 200$ speaker... the amp is include in this price... I have a iNuke amp and Im very happy with it... the problem isnt the label, it's the bad quality product... maybe you should try thwm in a gig without subs... they sound bad the bass is bad and very not present... try them before telling me what to do... also I want a all passive system... so please respect my opinion if you dont know why Im thinking like this
