no doubt they're designed for those drivers... and word is they are very loud and clear. don't get hung up on the watts ratings..

Mini-Mad, providing you set the correct crossover into the 6"s, one will be plenty per 2 x THAM15 You'll need to be careful with the crossovers though - the 'kick' (or midbass) loudspeakers will need to go fairly high to meet them safely. Don't take my word for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had to be crossed over at 500Hz+. At this range, you are limited to either straight horns or direct radiating to cover that range happily. Don't expect many 'kick' (IE ES-18) bins to be happy playing that high! (120Hz-500Hz)

A light coned, small VC 15" in bass reflex will happily hammer out that range

If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.

Not really, can't go high enough, isn't efficient enough and will struggle to keep up with everything else!
Take a look at Fane Sovereign Pro 15-500 for a budget solution. Has a reference efficiency of 3.6% and comes in at under £100 . Hopefully some more experienced members will wade in at this point - and suggest a far superior alternative

Can upgrade to a neo 15" later if wanted - you should be able to get another 5dB with more expensive drivers (+2.5dB efficiency, +2.5dB power handling)

as we're talking about kicks anyway... do you still tune them close to their fs but just use them in their kick band width of 120-500? or do you tune them higher to within the band your using?

Maybe selling these as a spare part (horn only), they have a passive too. |
