how about if i had a single 12" driver in a cabinet with a horn like the mt 102? (just throwing ideas around here) If i were to design this how do i know what the dimensions of the cabinet should be?

a pair of mt102 will be a realy nice mid top for a decent sized stack of hd15, the question is does he have enough hd15 to warrant a pair of suge big and loud tops and also does the events he/she plans on catering for tend to be large enough? a stack of 8 hd and a pair of mt102 does seem like a nice idea though...... how many hds do you have and how big are the events??? might only need a pair of x10/x12 or the single 12"+1" p audio design three bee posted earlier here

Ok so your not going to use a tweeter at all? Do you know how this will sound?

A guitar type 12" will reach through the voice range,with rough sound.

I also need to do something with 2 x 12" and/or  2 x 15" for mids got that weird telephone thing going on at the moment, need to make the gap between my scoops and my tweeters sound a bit better!
 
Any suggestions??

Ok so you have a tweeter?What sort.You can have a pile of speakres randomly put together and it will sound rubbish,or you can use existing plans and it will sound nice.

The tweeter must work low enough to meet the 12" The 12" must be filtered,the horn must be filtered.

2 15"s will be close to 100dB sensitive in the midrange,your HF horns will be about 110dB,so the 15"s are still weak,but have alot more power handling.

Id use a horn,even 2x12" from the mt122 plans. These are extremely loud.The dispersion is narrow which may or may not be what you want. You could get some one to redesign the flare,for 90* dispersion horizontal.
