Hi, after having to delay due to Illness I've finally made a start on my rig build. the plan is for 8 x 1850 sub bins and 4 x xtro plus I plan to add some small mid horns and a couple of tweeter boxes for an extra boost to the mid/top.The drivers I'm using for the 1850 bins are void V1000s and the xtro drivers are all as per the plan.

The 1st bin to be assembled was built earlier today and here are some 1st pictures, I'll add more as the build continues

I made myself a router template to rebate slots for the horn assembly parts to sit in , I'd had the sections all cut to size by the supplier and had to shape all the angles by hand which has taken up a lot of time but was worth the effort as the 1st bin was put together in an easy 5 hrs.

	nice work. good to see some more folded horns coming to life. when you say shaped what so you mean, hand plane electric planer? the mitres all look good how did you do them?

" Wise man, in the time it takes to measure out 2 sides you can make a template than means you just don't measure again, I even Pilot thru the rebates to avoid having to mark screw lines.... Nice boxes...

	I've been using a hand plane to shape all the angles, it's time consuming but gives good results. :)

	Good effort, nothing like using a good old wood plane. Blood sweat and bass.... 8x 1850 and 4x xtros all loaded properly....That system will pump

	I have an FFA10k amp for the sub bins, an FFA6k amp for the xtro bass, crown XTi2000 for mids, a crown xls202 for the tweeters and an NCA digital speaker controller so yeah, pumping is what I'm aiming for :D The FFA6K amp runs 4 channels at 1.5k per channel at 4 ohms so should be ideal for xtro bass section and the 10k will run 4 subs per channel at 2 ohms with a max peak of 1.25k per bin, from my experience this shouldn't be any danger to the V18 1000 drivers but if I'm wrong someone please tell me now so I can set the limiter. My only real concern is the mids being underpowered hence the plan for extra mid horns and tweeter boxes.

	very nice! What wood are you using? One of the local systems has 6 1850's and 2 xtros and destroys everything else in comparison

	i run an 1850 and xtro stack and believe me run correctly i dont think you will need any of the extra mid/hi you previously mentioned. the xtros are very powerful cabs. they took me by surprise we have two on top of 4 1850's currently and we cant even turn the xtros rigt up and thats with our crossover output volumes as low as they can go!
