The funny thing with the Fane book, is that the cab with the most output at 50Hz is the 2 x 15" reflex section on the full range modular cab. Has 10dB more output than any of the horns at 50Hz, and plays the lowest out of everything.

How times have moved on with everyone using reflex these days lol.

Back then, 60-80Hz was more important than 40-50Hz in big rock systems, and thats where a big pile of horns would win, particularly if you only had dc300’s or if you were posh maybe BGW’s to drive the rig 
But i agree, in today’s world reflex is the way to go.

Well... If I should do a complete low end section today, just for fun and nothing else, it would be 12 TT1000 from Danish Storm Sound. Loaded with the trusty Fane 18B600. 6 each side could eat 1500 people going crazy.
Similar to a ES18BPH, but better sounding. 

They can't match the same amount of drivers in BR when it comes to low end extension, but the amount of energy they produce is just so intense LOL

Thanks for the link to the Fane book.

Brings back some memories, as used this book for my first builds many years ago.

Lots of good info in there as well.

Yes the same. Angled 2 X 12 was mine. The ozvalveamps website mentioned in the thread (still has the fane book for download) was also a blast from the play, how the websites used to look LOL

The system pictured on the front cover was built and went out to the USA as a demo system, it was at back at the factory when I went to visit. Steve Hewlett mentioned he had been asked about producing second book of designs. Sadly nothing came of it.
