2x12" angled mids

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   hey guys, im currently working on some comp boxes, and also learning to use the tools. for my next build, i wish to work on some mids, and i want to use this 2x12" plan (seems fairly pupular among reggae/dub systems)... but i got some questions about it. 
http://www.dancetech.com/index.cfm?loading=pa&pa_loader=175
1.) I'm not entirely sure what driver suits this cab best? 
2.) Where should i be crossing them at with suitable driver,,,
       -eventually i would like this system: 
            -18" scoops crossing @ 100hz
            -Gsubs on kick... where would i lowpass these? 
            - 12" angled mids
            - horns&piezos 3.5khz-20k

so does anyone have full information on this cab or plans for a similar cab that you know more about? thanks alot :-)

	i got bored & made these :) but one thing i noticed whilst doing it... i modelled the baffle holes on the cutout sizes given on fane website for the sovereign 12-200, and the holes look way too big, and they are to scale. so would i need to use a 10" driver? :S, the plans clearly say dual 12" on dancetech? rather confusing Edited by joshd963 - 18 January 2010 at 2:13am

	I dislike the comb filtering of drivers that are angled outwards. Take a pair of single 12 boxes and try them angled out, then angled in (across each other). Decide what to build after you listen to both ways. Tannoy.

	any chance to simulate a cab like you've posted _djk_?? and maybe even with a phase plug (HF horn in coaxial)?

	I was interested in building these dance tech cabs a while ago but I totally didn't trust the plans. I'm sure there's better plans out there, loads of reggae systems use them... nudge Maybe I should post this in the Roots n' Culture forum...

	Don't get hung up too much on angles, because they are not critical. Your speakers will be omni-directional out of those cabs. I have a pair of 1x12 cabs that are hinged in the middle, originally for testing and getting the optimal angles. Most positions gave the same response, it's only when I went to extreme angles that differences occurred.
