You could do but there are reasons not to as well.
Imagine for example the part of a track where the lowest fundamentals of the vocals or some other definition critical sounds are creeping into the upper bass region (and if not entirely, at least within the audible range of the crossover) And at the same time you've got a 35Hz bass note driving your subs to maximum excursion. At that time you would be better with a separate kick cab, not for SPL or weight but for clarity between frequency bands. Edited by Hemisphere - 11 January 2018 at 1:56pm |

while the 100 - 200 hz range could not be so prominent in reggae, you still need quality there, and few big subs maintain it up there. you see many reggae sounds going from horn loaded to reflex kicks, but few without them.
if you really want to run your rig three way i'd look at mid tops that reach at least 100/120 hz...

Reggae Soundsystem has a quite particular frequency response which might not be the best template for a system that plays a variety of styles. You could 'tune' a general system to make it sound like a reggae Soundsystem tho.
Agreed on the need for clarity on low mids/upper bass. Edited by valve head777 - 11 January 2018 at 2:02pm |

You will struggle to get a non-horn loaded 10” to reach much beyond 2k5...
Common cross frequencies for 10/12” to HF are 1k8-2k5... most common being 2k2 in my experience |

^ ideally not even that high as the 10" will beam a lot.. + you wont require a 1.4" hf, bms 4550 would do, crossed at about 1.6khz
have a look at bluearans 1581 cab using the sonitus audio 8" horn+de250hf, xover around 2.5khz |

Will do guys, Much appreciated :) funny isn't how when they state usable frequency range (and a lot of other parameters for that matter) it appears almost impossible to ever translate that into practice. I am documenting everything i'm learning here as notes, i haven't tried digesting this much info since school. Even then i didn't really try ha. keep it coming! i have practiced alot of 'disciplines' autodidactically but this has got to be the hardest in terms of scientific and mathematical thoery :)

Pretty happy with this one! Took some working out to get the adjustable arms calibrated but it works.
Full adjustable every 2.5° from flat up to 20° |
