 Topic: 12" eminence scoops....Posted: 27 October 2006 at 8:03am |

hey all......
am thinking about building some 12" scoops from the old eminence design book. Not for our main system, but for a mini dub/chill rig.
(thinking per side: 4 x 12" scoops + 4 x reflex 10" mids + 4 x 1" horns.)
Anyone ever used/built any???
Any words of wisdom???
peace and thanks,
N

I havent got one in mind yet.... thats another thing i need advice on.
Something thatll handle at least 500w each, and go down to 40-45hz if possible......
the lower the better obviously, but im not expecting miracles off 12s.....im just sick of lugging massive heavy cabinets and want a small decent system for smaller gigs......rather than just taking out 2 hds or whatever and bodging a scaled down version of our main rig... :)

have you thought about the 15" micro scoop? you will have a wider choice of drivers. i doubt it is much bigger maybe even smaller than the Eminece 12" scoop.

cheers for that.....
Its an interesting option.
Think they are deeper, but not as tall...
And from memory, they have at least one more baffle than the 12s...
mmmm.........(mulls it over).........
Has anyone else any ideas or experience of the 12s?

i think the ammount of baffles is the same. please dont think that i was trying to put you off of the 12" scoop idea i was just offering a more modern alternative.
I would love to hear how the 12" scoop shapes up with some decent drivers in. dont B&C make a 1000w 12" with a 4" voice coil? not sure weather it paramiters would suit a scoop but its worth a look.

yea..... no probs!!!
That B&C is along the lines i was thinking.....
Im not really thinking 'Modern'......seems speakers go in phases....especially in the scene that i work.
This year the fad is OPUS, last year it was Funktion 1, the year before it was Mackie active...etc etc etc....
Not gonna bother with 'Modern' cos there'll only be something ''better'' next year. I just like the look of the 12 scoop.....its a complettelly personnal thing for me i guess.
Although i know quite a lot of auido theory cos of where i work....im finding myself actualy caring less and less... I just want something simple to build that i like the look of, that sounds okay......cos lets face it...after asking around....unless your in t'industry.....no-one seems to care as much as i thought!!!

What do you think of these Strange Daze ?  I've heard them being tested with just a 4ohm car speaker & they sounded incredible. |

That should be the thread you're after.
But only really has pictures. No pricing e.t.c. so far. They do look nice. |
