DUAL 18 SELENIUM MODIFICATION

I HAVE BEEN THINKING that instead of having the cab dimensions as 80x80x100cm.... why not have it 100x100x80 cm as it doesnt seem to make it unmanageable.   im stuck on the flARE PROFILE! how do you calculate/design this part of the cab?  any ideas ppl?

Mykey, could you give us a bit more info on this?

1. In your estimation, what was the freq response of this "cab"?
2. The cab you listened to, was it loaded with the intended Seleniums, or loaded with something else?
3. Where they crossed over to mid top cab, or to kick cab?
   

I have seen adverts on ebay, and few web forums where Guy's have made these cabs tried them out for a while and then sold them unloaded.

Preferring to use drivers in something else. So I'm a bit suprised to hear that they are "that good".

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that means 8 18"'s per side minimum !!!!!!!!?

I dont "really" like scoops anymore, but have you heard in a single stack what 8 scoops (ASS/1850), 8 WSX_V18 or 8 Looneys(V18), 8 b'lines(1850) sound like with 1.2k of crown behind each driver?

IMHO, I can see why they are are not as popular as the above or labs/punishers, but I guess I have to hear what 8 of 'em sound like..

When are yours gonna be ready HBL?

Making them bigger is a BAD ideea

they are simply huge as they are now.

you will gain verry little extension with a 20 cm flare extension

do you really want to find yourself at 40 Years of age not being able to lift more than 10Kg  at a time because of the back problems developed while moving Large subs?

I have learned my lesson  early, and I  have friends in the business who would do anything to turn back the time.

the 2 things that can fail verry easily while working in this domain are your Ears and your back, both are  ireversible


ah , and please learn how to use hornresp
guessing and horns don't really go well together

They were loaded with the sellenium drivers

it's an educated guess, but surely this would only be an improvement ? 475 + 75 = 550 + 50 = 600
