Sounds interesting. Are you able to share anything about the design of the sub please? Given the LAB12 drivers have low sensitivity and power handling, it will need to add a bit of gain to let the drivers keep up with the higher powered 12HP1060's, especially as there's 2 of those on each mid-top. Are you planning on multiple subs?

One of the links is to a drawing of the bass cabinet. It is just a bass reflex design with a slightly flared port. If that is the design being used there is no way it will reach 140dB. Of course the link might just be to a random drawing.  |

Oh yeah, I must have overlooked that, thanks. Completely agree, multiple of those would be needed for good bass to 500 people outdoors.

I was interested see as had a couple of spare lab 12s the other year and wanted a compact bass solution. Looked at lab 12 reflex
I ended up with fane xb 18 colususus 800w in a b and c sub 18 box.

With respect, I wouldn't be building a system from scratch that I knew was going to need a lot of processing, there are plenty of high quality 18's about now that would give you spl and low end from a compact cabinet without a lot of processing.

A 2 x 12 reflex sub shouldn't need much processing. It could be a language problem either English or technical terms.
The Lab 12s work well in a reflex cabinet, and would be a good choice for home system. For PA work Ciare, BMS or Faital Pro drivers offer more Umph at the expense of slightly less bass extension. If the OP is OK with the levels they produce, even if it isn’t actually 140dB, happy days. |
