THREE WAY SOUND SYSTEM

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

   Hello,a little question for you...i am thinking to build an old school looking three way reggae sound system,
now i have 4 eminence scoop with pd1850, 4 pd 121 and 4 eminence compression driver, would be a good idea run 4 pd 121 in a reflex box to cover 90hz - 2khz area?
pd 121 simulation on precision devices site seems to have a drop on 100 hz - 200 hz area in a 35hz tuned reflex box, (maybe solvable with a bit of equalization) but my worries are about xmax in that area (pd 121 max are 2.7 mm)
thanks in advance!

p.s: music are mostly ska, rocksteady and '60 reggae so i don't need a lot of kick

	I would push the scoops a fair bit higher and put the pd121 into sealed boxes if the drivers are suited to it. I run 12 inch drivers in sealed boxes from about 180 hz to about 1.8 khz and it sounds ace. It's the quietest band of my system but still each driver keeps pace with a double 15 semi horn loaded kick.
