Do you need to use a delay with these?

   I was reading in the FAQ section where you need to use a delay when using horns. Will I need to use a delay with the HD15's?

	No, but if you want everything to line up right then 'yes' I'll be honest with you, i've never been able to tell the difference between 18ms of delay but i do set it up like that anyway. After hearing how bad 6th order bandpass boxes were supposed to be i was thinking my system would sound crap, but even if i have no delay it sounds ok. My sub has a 18ms group delay @ 80hz and my HD15's is longer (according to my RTA software in a small room ) If i have time to do it, i'll play some sine waves and do the 'thing', otherwise i'll plug it in and play on the settings i had from last time Edited by norty303

	I am using some bass reflex subs now, so I don't do the delay thing. I just set my 2 way cabs on top of them and let it go. If I were to build 4 HD15's, and set my 2 way cabs on top, then how much delay are we talking about?

	A bit under 3ms.
