With the 186 horn I would need at least 6 on each side, just to be able to stack the Turbosounds on top. That will be really pricey and a lot of work, while W-bins do the trick. I want people standing in front to stand in the bass, with the mids and highs flying over them. I don't want to blow people's ears of with highs and mids...

Euros. I didn't know the symbols were bugged.

The plan is to use the 2 each side, or build it up as a wall.

What is a best bang for the buck alternative to the W-bin? I particularly like them because they only use one driver for 2 horns and they are the perfect size to put the Flashlights on, but there might be something better out there I don't know about.

Yeah, we don't have a lot of budget at all. We have around 7000 euros total.
How do you connect your amps to the EP6 connection?

Hi!

So me and a couple of friends are starting a soundsystem (for techno, hardcore, breakcore, acid, jungle, ragga, ...)



EDIT:
In order to make the new plan clear;

1) We will have 6 labhorns.

2) We bought two Turbosound TMS-3's, that will be powered by:
HF: Europower EP1500
HMF: tamp TSA 4-1300
LMF: tamp TSA 4-1300

3) As for processor we bought a Behringer DCX2496 Ultradrive Pro:
- 1 output for the bass
- 1 output for the LMF
- 2 ouputs (stereo) for the HMF
- 2 outputs (stereo) for the HF


EDIT2:
Wow, reading this all back now was quite the journey.
Just to clarify what route we took since this topic;

We now (still) have the two Turbosound TMS-3s which is powered by a Matrix XT1000, t.amp 4-1300 (which will soon also be upgraded to a Matrix XT3000MF or XT5000MF) and Matrix XT7000MF.

We also have the six labhorns, which are currently powered by a Matrix XT10000MF.

Everything is processed with a Nova DC8000, and mixed through a Soundcraft Ui16.

All speakers are phase alligned using SMAART.

Quite proud of all the progress we made!

We're currently checking our options to upgrade our tops to a more back-friendly and overall more flexible solution.
