Whiskey Barrel Bins (SLW Bins) ADVICE NEEDED!

Overall, an LMS with more outputs and an extra amp is probably easier! That way you can deal with driver misbehaviour with EQ, and the filters will definitely be what you think they are, and not what the driver thinks they should be.

2* Celestion FTR-4080F 15" - (65 - 400)

3* Void V18 1000 18" - (30 - 70)

All powered with matrix.... There's a huge amount of warm sub.... its too much for the barn really, will look forward to playing with two of these stacks outside in the Spring. The dispersion from the single top unit is really good despite concerns. I think the whiskey barrel is an IDEAL shape and size and density for speakers.... Until they fall apart that is.... Not quite sure how I will overcome that one - keep tightening the hoops and hoping for the best!

I have been playing around with the 15's, they sound great as is, no shelf or depth to the port. Just a huge aperture. I closed off the inside of one half way to make the box 100L however there was no audible difference in sound in a blind test between the whole and half volume..... Any thoughts on this? I would have expected the box to tune higher and shift more air quicker.....  

We will be taking this out quite a few places next year. If you see it come and say hello. I will post one finally photo up soon of both finished stacks all grilled up and stand painted like old chunky ships wood. 

(Excuse the messy workshop.... Get the job done first.... Tidy second)
 

Is that a typo? would be a bit too much of a gap there between 1 and 2 kHz otherwise?

nope, opposite. smaller port makes tuning go down!
