Might sound harsh but ginge is right.

Problem is, you'd still need to get mid drivers within 10cm apart from each other for them to behave correctly. |

These Horns are wonderful but here in Venezuela this is not achieved here we have a exchange control of annual purchases only allows for 400 dollars and if these products were achieved in Venezuela would be super extremely high costs. The current government of Venezuela is a communist and Venezuelans do not want us to use dollars.
It's possible to get some plans to build a wooden trumpet which meets the specifications to behave as a line array? |

if you cant make a trumpet array properly which you cant with the parts you have available, then build point source (normal 'large' box) speakers which will the same thing as you would end up with but actually work properly.

I really appreciate your help do not know how I appreciate it.
My idea is to make 8 boxes same but I'll start making 4 first because I have now only the 8 midbass eminence the idea of stacking them and fly them in a truss could better explain it to a point source? Thanks |
