Just curious on opinions, thinking of upgrading. We play heavy bass and need loud crisp tops that cross nicley with our es18bph cabs.
At the moment we cross subs 35-80 kicks 80-200 and pick the rest up with full range pa speakers. Cheers for all and any input. |

How many tops are you planning on running each side?
MT122 are great but have very narrow dispersion so you would need atleast 2-3 a side to give a wider dispersion. mt130 also a very popular design. |

Sorry I mean is there any other designs that would work? Maybe single 15 + 2" comp really want to keep down to single amp and want to be able to daisy chain two per channel on the amp

You won't need a 15 inch top if you are running then from 180-200 up. You could look into some X12 style 12"+1" or 2x12" + 1" reflex tops with passive x-overs.

Ok, have looked at x12 and 2x12 +1 cabs and was wondering if a similer design could be applicable to a 2x8 + 1" with a mid horn.

The two 8" drivers mounted in mid horns would be better with high freq mounted in front.a 10" MT kinda design.
