Can anyone recomend me some good 10" drivers for horn loading...
interested toward the budget end of the market.. so far considered fane cresendno 10mb eminence kappa 10 currently i have pd 102er but finding the low power rating a bit off putting as i've blown quite a few without them sounding like they're really stresed. |

What horns were the 102 in when you blew them and what was the lf cutoff? Just out of interest really, I've got no experience with them.

they were in mikeys mc10's which is like a turbo sound tms horn without the phase plug...
they were going from about 180-200hz up. Personally i think it live vocals that have taken them out each time. But never all at once. I was considering asking roy at recones.com if he could do anyhing to increase the power handling on them if he reconed them again. But i think a little higher power handling in the mid department might be the answer also. However i've always liked the sound of them... |

Amazing no one answered this! -Did you speak to Mykey?
If it's a turbohorn then it's BLOWN OFF crossed below 250hz, this is the lowest recommended cut off, I often use 280 hz like tms-4 or 300hz depending on whats playing below them. This horn you CAN NOT cross at 180-200hz, but Mykeys horns might have a lower cutoff than tms-horns If you have a low-power driver it's recomended to set your crossover higher so you avoid sending too much watts to the 10", so if it's like a turbomid I'll recommend you above 280hz if used alone, in groups they'll couple & go a bit lower. 180hz is how low you will go with the first huge Funktion one floodlight (sold to turbo), but that's a 12" driver Edited by tv00 - 09 June 2014 at 12:21pm |

Yeah it doesn't look like the MC10 horns are long enough to load the driver that low. I'd cross at 250Hz or higher but that's based on theory not real world experience :)

I no longer have the horns, but still have a load of the drivers requiring a recone... 5 i think, it's uneconomical to get the recone kits as i'd have to order 10 and they'd cost more than the drivers did in the first place. 2 of the cabs i had with the horns and working drivers were stolen aswell.
So it's all fairly irelevant now... a big shame really but thats how it goes sometimes. |

You can't get cheap fane recones in UK?
I don't think so, but it might not be worth it if you have to pay for work & shipping. Roy from rmj does reconing and sells the kit, so does bluearan & think also Paulie from this forum. I think you will find out that hidden all around your country there's hundreds of people doing recones. I know quite a few just here in tiny Denmark. |

It wasn't fane recones I was after it was PD recone kits. I can do recones myself but if you'd understood what i said you'd see that.
