Hi I want to build some USB cabs and just wanted to ask if the Celestion driver is worth the Cab :)
Nah I just want to know if someone here on the forum tested the two available drivers : FTR18-4080FD 1000 Watt and the FTR18-4080F 600 Watt . Or is it better to buy a driver like PD184 , Beyma 18P1000 , Fane 18XB , Fane Colossus 18B600 , P-audio < PD186. Whats about the PD186 driver that is also listed in the USB-Bin driver List? Is the PD186 just too big to fit or is there a way to make it fit without changing dimensions of the USB.
I'm thinking of building 4 USBs with TSE 112 on top and 3 X1 on the ground. Edited by Createk - 16 October 2008 at 11:24pm |

You'd be better off building TSE118 clones with these drivers in - match your current stack.
Because setting different delays for different cabs in the same frequency range isn't exactly good practice - unless you live in a 'certain' area. Sorry to bother. |

I'm going to build the X1-USB combination with the TSE112 on top.
I know more of the turbos would be great but i ithink I'm going to use the plans I have. I never built a cabinet on my own and I want to make the experience. As this will be my first cabinets I will start off with the X1-Letterbox with V-18 1000 drivers. And then the USBs with the FTR18-4080FD 1000 drivers. When the X1s are finished i will use them together with the turbos because the TSE118 is not very powerfull in the low end. And after I built some USBs, I'll change the TSE118 to USBs. I'll have a use for the TSE118 as I know 2 bands which may need a mobile system to make gigs with. Do you think this is a good combination? I thought of 3 X1- Letterbox lying on the grond with 6-8 USBs on them and 2 maybe 4 TSE112 on top. Sounds a bit utopic for a beginner, but I think it's gonna be an intresting time.

Sounds like a plan then.
The TSE-112 is a 10" driver with 2x1" comps on a manifold. The recommended xover point is 250hz The ES18-BPH goes higher than the USB apparently - I'd strongly point you in that direction. |

So maybe it would be better to build Mt122 or Mt121 instead of the TSE112?
Or how about Porn Horns Edited by Createk - 06 November 2008 at 9:52pm |

the 10" tse will be happy to 200hz where you can cross the usbs. If you are using the usbs as upper bass, go for something like a PD.184 or even better, a fane 18B600. The low qts will give you a tighter and richer upper bass. Pd.186 and fane xbs are only good for <110hz really. The celestions are somewhere in the middle. An "all rounder" if you will.

I want to get the "maximum" "punch" out of the USBs and the X1 will hopefully help to get some additional "root-sound" to the punch (and the SUB-Bass that would miss without X1s)
I looked at the datasheets of the TSE111 ( I don't have TSE112s but TSE111s [sorry I didn't look close enought]) and the frequency spektrum says 200Hz cutoff would be absolutely ok. Will I get enought satisfying kick bass out of the recommended Celestion FTR18-4080FD 1000w? As we are playing mostly tekno music it's fundamental to punch the people :) Edited by Createk - 07 November 2008 at 2:17pm |
