4 186 Horns in a stereo setup

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello!

I read a lot of topics but couldn't find an answer to following question:

i've 4 X1,4 BB 15 horns, 8 12 inch mids (1 speaker per cabinet) and 4 186 horns. 
does following setup make sense: on every side a tower with 2 X1, 2 186 and 4 12 inch mids, and between a stack with the 4 BB 15 horns?

what would you recommend?

if the question is to stupid put it the newbie forum, and sry for my english - i know its not well.

regards, siox

	If you're using the BB 15 horns in the same frequency range as the 186 then I think extensive testing and measuring would be the only way to do it properly. For starters though, have a read of the bass guide on the Void website (in the support section) and have a search on google for 'speakers power alley'.

	in general the guide is very interesting and helps. but as i understand the measurments were done with a double 18 inch driver reflex cabinet, but aren't horn cabinets a diffrent thing, because they have another radiate characteristic?

	in summer mostly outside, no space limits. my questions relates to unlimited space. in winter factory halls, castles - in smaller venues indoor we'd used only X1 and bb15.
