Looking for 2x18" Horn sub plans

What is your desired frequency response? What is your budget? Would it be a stack of 4 or 2 a side?

Cheers

Desired Freq response would be 40 to 80 Hz at approx 100db, dropping below 40hz with multiple bins per stack.

For drivers I would stretch to best price I could get for FANE XB,RCF LP1800 or B&C. Power handling would need to be at least 1.2kW RMS per bin.

I want to start off with two stacks(one sub per stack e.g smaller venues), and progressing to 2,4 subs per stack later. So subs have to be efficient.

 

Cheers.

Looks good on paper, but have'nt heard much about these drivers being used wide spread. So'll think I still stick to designs around FANE XB, Emin Kilomax Pro, RCF or B&C. 

why not try to simulate other drivers in that horn, and see wich works best.

I did that once and the plot came out with an even better response that with the original driver.

If you want to do a simple double 18 box just use the 200ltr design on the fane website and double it, make sure that each driver is in its own enclosure for best results, you will easily get bass down to 35hz with a couple of db lift on your graphic or processorand 35hz to give a smooth response, if you are going to use fane in horns use the 18b600 rather than the xb, and unless you are doing 1500 plus venues 2 or 4 of these double eighteens with aorund 2k of power per cab and crossed and 35hz and 100hz will give you more than enough bottom end.

We use 4 MTL-2s. They usually come with the EV DL18MT 400watt drivers, but there is also a 1000w driver available for them. They dont play that low, and dont produce much sound in singles, but if you stack more than 2 per side then they start to party.
