I am quite confused indeed. How can I get 4x NL4 from 3 amps? Sounds strange? |

its 8core you need as shaq mentioned..
amps in rack-wired to a 8core (nl8) speakon on a patch panel-8core to your stacks-links between cabs also 8core-makes for a quick and neat wiring at the costs of rel. expensive cable and connectors Edited by bass*en*mass - 20 February 2017 at 5:32pm |

How do I get to NL8 from three NL4 outputs? I'm confused. I never used any other cabling than NL4 before. |

nl8 sockets in patchpanel- solder 4 cables going to the dedicated amps
1+-bass 2+-mid 3+-midhi 4+-hi for example.. (have a look at patchpanels, you`ll get it quick looking at a pic) |

So you suggest modding the Turbosounds to have NL8 inputs?
The W-bin is 40-1000Hz, so it should be fine with the Flashlight (them being 150Hz-20kHz). Or do you think I still need a kick bin with that (don't the Flashlights give enough kick already)? Edited by Futendra - 20 February 2017 at 6:37pm |

nope, it's not. Wbins have folds that will definitely restrict upper cutoff frequency. There will be no useful output (and sound quality for that matter) anywhere near 1000Hz or even 500 Hz. I've heard big stacks of ported stage accompany Wbins, and it was unimpressive to say the least. Ports farted and compressed like hell, and output compared to stack size was unfavorable and not as physical as you would want. Some wild suggestions: 1)18" or 21" PPSL? 2) cyclops 3) maybe keystone subs (art welter on diyaudio.com)? |

I definitely do not want drivers exposed. We will throw hard parties with them, and I want to avoid them getting damaged because of drinks. I also don't like the idea that I have to make MORE of a different kind of cabinet to get close to the size of the W-bins. They will be an absolute beast with quite a lot of power for the space, without any driver exposed. I also got what you guys meant with the NL8's. I'd make a patch panel that has 2x three NL4's going in, and 2x an NL8 going out. Then I would make a cable that has NL8 on one end, and EP6 on the other?

Well, a budget beast at least. I think it's the only thing doable for 7000 euros of total budget. I can't throw money at twelve 186 horns now.

I'm not sure this is a good idea.
Flashlight is really a specialised "long throw" (OK, unscientific term, but you know what I mean) cabinet, with narrow dispersion and intended to be used in a multicell-style array. Each box is good for about 20 or 25 degrees of coverage. With only two per stack, this will not be wide enough for general applications. What you really need is Floodlight, with twice the coverage per box (and a smoother sound). @ Sean (shagnasty) - what's your opinion on this? |

Well, it is meant for playing outside to small groups of people usually directly in front of the speakers... I don't need the sound to spread that much. The less spread the better, actually. |
