    Posted: 24 January 2012 at 9:59pm
Hi all was wondering if i could ask some advice, Have recently been thrust into the soundsystem world by a friend who decided to take the plunge on a almost complete rig. So i apologise rather wet round the ears.
We have 4 THL 828 bins and 2 TSW 718 bins and are wondering what midtops would anyone recommend to complete the rig.
As i said i'm new to all this so i'm unsure about what we have would work bins wise also.
Just need some help really!

Thanks

Floodlight would be a perfect match. Stick to either 1 type of bass bins or the other.

Nah, flood doesn't work well 4way, run the whole job 5 way, sub the 718s and run the THLs out to meet the floods @ 180.....

I thought 718s don't do much below 50Hz.

flood light all the way i reckon, not only will you keep all your system turbo but for the price i don't reckon you could much better tops,
run them from around 200hz upwards
 
also aren't the 718's and the 828 very similar inside as they are both turbosound bph

If you run them in a tighter bracket they are more convincing, say 30-90 you will get a lot of energy out of them, not ideal but just a way of using what the guy had, obviously a FK 221 would be nicer but......

I don't know about the 828s but a 718 is not really in it's happy zone @ 200Hz TBH if the 12" on the flood would do it I'd drop below the recommened 180, but with a 718 running 30-90, a pair of 828 running 60-180 and then some floods on top you should have a pretty deep, very punch stack....
 
And it will be a good height unlike a flood on a 718 which isn't quite hi enough...
 
I did build a load of little risers to raise and angle floods on 718 which have been shown on here a few times that work well, but another bin works better!!!

Fair enough but if I was spending my money on branded kit I would want it all matching. Also 1 way bass makes things simpler and will still do a good job.
 
What ever you do Caine you shouldn't have different bass bins running the same frequency's.
