Hi, I have a few questions for designing a couple of PA speakers and subs to go with them.The Drivers I am planning to use are linked to below. If there are any better alternatives, please say. Thanks for any answers given.
- Eminence Alpha 10a as Mid driver

- Eminence ASD1001 as HF Driver

- Eminence Alpha 15a as Sub driver

Does anybody know if these drivers are OK with each other? I'm planning to run them with an active crossover-3 way. A 4 core cable to each Top cab, with the outputs from two amps going to two separate drivers in the same cabinet. No passive crossover at all. Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I was going to use a 400w/side 8 Ohm amplifier for the 10a, 500w/side 8 Ohm for the 15a, and a 100w/side 8 Ohm for the compression driver. I am trying to keep this as cheap as possible for the band I play with. Preferably under about £120 per cabinet. This is because I am still at high school, so cannot get much money in.
My other question was will it be worth building the amplifiers? I have found a couple of designs that have fairly good feedback across the 'net, for instance, 400W MOSFET Amplifier Circuit With IRFP448 for the 10a driver. I am fairly happy with a soldering iron etc..
Sorry for the long post, and thanks again for any answers.
