Probably not a topic worthy of Advanced discussion but someone here is bound to know the answer,
Been offered a set of 6 JBL 2226HPL drivers for a pretty good price, they are 15" drivers with these specs:

Or if not, some suggestions on suitable drivers that wont break the bank would be good! I was thinking perhaps PD 154

is there a lot of room? some bandpass horns can be a bit tight on space.

Basically, I taught myself everything I know through just doing it and finding out what works, reading on speakerplans and titbits of information fed to me by people that know more....
I run a soundsystem and can make it sound great but know absolutely NOTHING about cab building or matching drivers to cabs, hence why I posted asking for help. So no I dont know that mass corner is only 240hz, & I dont even know what mass corner is. Please elaborate? This is why I posted, to ask people that know more than me |

He means the upper frequency response limit of the driver in a horn. (which is apparently [2*Fs/Qts])

IIRC, JBL 2226H have been known to shred/almost ignite in horns.
However, exceedingly good in suitable reflex cabs. As previously stated, PD154 are very nice nice in many short horns/BPH. |

^ Correct, although the 2226 may work in a short horn,is not ideal. The much better E140 works a treat if you can find any thesedays.
PD154,or PD1550 also both good. |

Be seeing you.
