	Sounds like you're a candidate for a 15/18 bass-reflex and a portable 12"/1" Top that could serve as a compact monitor at a later stage. If money is short, you could also give the X15 a try and add a sub along with active x/o and what not. What suppiosedly sets this 15"/1" combo apart from most, is that it's also useable as a Top. Models about as loud as it gets for a 15 in a Mid-Bass (see, not Bass-Mid) and can be extended with subs at a later stage. However, all my ramblings have absolutely no meaning, unless you tell the peeple here what is expected of this system. Music/venues/need for portability/ need for later expansion/ budget and more all factor into what's sensible, so shoot and see what people here can come up with (some seriously road-hardned types hang around here on occasion) Martin

	Hi, The 1850 horn is a great design, but you need to use them in a stack of at least 4, else all you will get is loads of 'kick' and no sub. I believe the best driver to use for a 12in Mid horn is the P Audio SN 12B. You would probrably need 2 of these per side though if you wanted to use a stack of 1850s underneath. Jamie
